“I want to be a doctor because I broke my leg the beginning of football season and I learned a lot of things about the medical field from the experience. I started taking physiology this year, and it’s really interesting. I started thinking maybe I could do this for a living. My parents have been encouraging me since I was a freshman to get into the medical field, and I’ve been pushing it away for so long, but now I’m starting to see that maybe I could do that. I feel like I could make money at it, and I already have a talent for it. This summer I plan on taking courses at UMKC, and then starting to volunteer at hospitals to get a little experience. I’ve been doing research into schools with great pre-med programs, like Emory, USC, UCLA, and Arizona.”
