My Passion

I am a person who has faced many hardships in life but continue to follow my passion. Loosing both my parents at a young age I still thrive to complete my education. My goal is to become a Physician Assistant and make my parents and my daughter proud. At times it is hard to follow your dreams but the determination to do something and make a difference keeps me going. I am at LaGuardia Community College to finish some pre-requisites to the PA program. Once I am done here I will continue to my next destination which is PA school. This will be one of the greatest accomplishments for me.
The way I am reaching for my goal and working towards my passion is by taking small steps, one step at a time. Slow and steady wins the race. The profession I have chosen also requires time and patience and that is something I have learned to do. My passion arose in this field when my father was hospitalized after a massive car accident and died in front of my eyes. I wished I was the doctor and could have done something to help my father. Many other patients in the Intensive Care Unit were helped by the medical care workers and I felt I wanted to do something that would help others as well. This is why I chose this career.
Now, how will I use my education? Well I will use the education I acquire to medically assist people in need. I’m not sure exactly how that would make the world a better place but it will definitely be one more person helping and treating humankind. It will provide one more individual to a person in need. In fact, it is humankind that can save the Earth (since we are the ones destroying it) so I think indirectly I am helping to make the world a better place. I am just one person and its hard to believe that I am actually influencing the whole world. After all, every person counts.
