My entire life I’ve been surrounded by people in the medical profession and even attended nursing school with my mother when I was a child. Due to these early experiences, I knew that I too wanted to work in the medical field. It was love at first sigmoid. During high school I decided to take forensic science and a basic anatomy in order to get a head start.
Once I graduated high school I was certain I wanted to pursue a career as a medical examiner. Though many others found it eerie and gross, I found it to be interesting and exciting, as well as helpful. As I progressed into my first year of college, I was advised (especially by my mother) to be a plastic surgeon or an anesthesiologist. Although these were interesting and rewarding careers, they didn’t pique my interest. Then, as I began my second year of college, I found what I felt was my ideal career. I began getting laser skin treatments for acne and some months later my mother helped start a new medical aesthetics spa and then I knew.
By getting a degree as a physician’s assistant and training in dermatology and medical aesthetics I can achieve my ultimate goal. I will be able to enjoy my career and be able to start a family. As a physician’s assistant I can enjoy more time and freedom than I would as an M.D.
Through Northeastern University I would be able to earn my degree and hopefully get an internship so I would be able to gain valuable experience, since I feel that internship provides a critical and effective role in preparing for a career.

Hi Stephanie:
Please provide the prompt and the college that requires it, okay?
You're much too hard on yourself. The writing, as I've come to expect, is sure and, at times, humorous. Not knowing the prompt exactly, I'm guessing here but I imagine you were to write about your decision to go into a major or career field. I was very interested to know more about your interest in medical forensics but that might be beside the point here.
I would however like to know more about your reasons for going into the work that you've chosen. I feel that something has been left out: motivations, influences, those sorts of things. I'd like to see more showing and less narrating. What do you think?
Please Talk Back by the end of the day on Friday. Thanks.
