I have always wanted to be a surgeon since I was a kid. Doctors were treated like gods in my home country, Ethiopia. I was a shy little boy who dreamt big in my neighborhood and people would make fun of my goal due to the fact that there were no doctors in our neighborhood. They believed that I was not smart and strong enough to be a doctor. Besides my mother and aunt, nobody knew what I was capable of. I could calculate two numbers in a second like the speed of light, I knew everything about the human body system and I could run. I always believed that if I was going to be a doctor I have to exercise and be healthy in order for people to listen and follow my path. During my freshman year I joined the track team in my high school. I was very passionate about running track and influencing people to follow my path. I wanted to lead and be heard by people as a legend because this could help show my leadership to every human being that I am familiar to. Showing my leadership in track can help me become a great …show more content…
The National Honor Society helped me gain communication and confidence skills. It was where the top 20 percent of students gather together to volunteer and build leadership for their current clubs and future dreams. I enjoyed doing community services with this fantastic group because they have helped me become a better leader towards anything I wanted to be. While I was building my leadership I was also building my self-esteem. I was being more confident in meeting new people and giving out a speech in front of a huge crowd. I wouldn’t ask for anything more than this in what the school clubs has given me, they have given me many information’s such as: how to be confident, how to be a leader and how to become successful. All of these things I learned connect to my dream goal because to be a doctor there is more expectations than
The skills I have been able to develope since joining the National Honor Society are skills that I will will use for the rest of my life. Before joining the National Honor Society I was a typically high school student who really did not care about anything around him. Since joining the NHS I have grown a new appreciation for everything around me. I have grown as a leader and a person and I have learned to have a new outlook on life.
The event that grounded me into the path of a physician and truly inspired me was a speech given by a pediatric oncologist in middle school. It amazed me to no end how humble she remained when explaining a few of her interactions with children and their families. After that particular experience, I learned that I want to lead my professional career as a physician in a way that involves continuous servitude towards bettering the lives of those not privileged, fighting for every individual’s right towards health equity, and reflecting on and improving myself throughout my journey. I made it my goal to become a pediatric surgeon who is able to grow as a physician that can evaluate and continue to better themselves through their experiences. While
The National Honor Society is based off of four pillars; Scholarship, Leadership, Service, and Character. Scholarship is one of the most important pillars to me. Scholarship means not only doing well in school and getting good grades, but applying what I have learned and using it everyday. I know the importance of education and feel that I am a lifelong learner. I feel very fortunate to have been raised in a family where education is a priority.
During my third year of National Honor Society, I lead as an officer, the community service representative. Becoming an officer did not make me a leader in my community, I had already been one, but it did strengthen my leadership by adding to my responsibilities. I started as a leader in my community when I began volunteering for different organizations. As an officer, my communication skills strengthened because it was necessary for me to be in contact with organizations in my community in order to discover information about community service opportunities to relay to the other members.

Everyone is unique and different in their own way. Not everyone is the same nor do they like or do the same things. There are several things that make me different from others.

When I turned nine I begged my parents to buy me this fancy stethoscope. It took some convincing, but they were not match for my youthful charm. I would walk around the house and compel my brothers and parents to let me listen to their heart. I would listen intently as if that stethoscope would whisper in my ear and tell what life as a doctor would be like. But playing Doogie Howser and becoming a real-life M.D. are two different things.
I am certain I can make it as a pediatric surgeon because of my skills, dedication, and ambition. I am good at solving problems and I am not afraid to make changes in my life in order to accomplish what I want. I have an immense desire to succeed through hard work and perseverance. I am always eager to learn something new about the human body. The human body is something extraordinary, its captivating how the human body works and what it's made of.

As Senior year continues it is time to get serious and start thinking about the future. Up until freshman year I didn’t know what I wanted to do as my future career. All I knew was that I wanted to go into a career that I enjoyed going to work every day not something that I am going to dread for the rest of my life. I thought about criminal justice, being a nurse, and even being a lawyer; however, freshman year I finally found my career calling. I joined the Agricultural Education Program and realized that I want to go into Animal Science.

The people who have helped me in my life to make my life as a student easier, would have to be my teachers. Throughout my high school life, i have always been able to go to these people and ask for assistance and guidance during my school career. They were the ones who welcomed me in, when I came to the school as a Grade 9 student, and the ones who are saying farewell to me as I begin to graduate. The relationships that i have made with numerous of these teachers, is the reason I got up, and enjoyed going to school day after day. The teachers went above and beyond there duties as teachers, and became someone I could call a friend.
In Deep Treble. “Help me, Brit!” “Dad will be up here any minute and he’ll freak out if he sees my music stuff!” I screamed to my sister. “Just tell them you want to sing” She replied.

When I was a boy I used to see my father come home from a long day of work. Although exhausted, he used to have a feeling of satisfaction. He loved his profession: being a doctor. It was right then that I made up my mind that I would become a doctor like my father. I was blessed by having parents who were both well-known doctors in United Arab Emirates, as they guided me to get admission into one of the most prestigious medical schools of Pakistan.
