Prior to attending college, I had a general idea as to what I wanted my career to be, which was a pediatrician. Growing up, I've always had a passion for taking care of children. After visiting and going on mission trips to help the less fortunate, my favorite place to be was with the younger children because at this age, you can't help your life circumstance and I felt that I could be a light at the end of a dark tunnel. I would take it upon myself to make sure that I could be an inspiration and impact their lives in the smallest way that I could. After going to college and learning about different avenues that my future could take, I have decided that becoming a physicians assistant would be the right career path for me to take. By becoming a physicians assistant, I would still be in a pediatric specialty and get the same education in just a shorter time frame and without the same title as a general physician. While obtaining a Bachelors degree of Science at Winston Salem State University, I feel more than prepared to embark on my short term goals in life.
