Fifteen years later, it continues to be a great joy and a privilege to help the tiniest of patients. The patient does not speak English and, unfortunately, my ability to speak the patient's native language is nonexistent. But I, and other doctors here at U-M, understood the patient's medical problems.

After indicating how happy I am for the patient, we had a hug that transmitted the essence of the doctor-patient relationship. No words are needed to explain why I wanted to become a doctor.

Caring for ill and injured servicemen and servicewomen was among the most humbling yet rewarding experiences in my life. Here at Michigan Medicine, as a subspecialty physician and a medical director, I have been able to expand my opportunities to connect with patients and families during their most vulnerable times.

My parents were the first medical professionals in their families — mom a midwife and dad a surgeon. They immigrated to the U.
We moved a lot during those years. On Sunday mornings, dad would take me on rounds at the hospital. Throughout that time, they scrimped and saved to get by supporting three kids, prioritizing our education above themselves. They impressed upon me the virtues of hard work and commitment over personal gain and the privilege it was to help others.
But being a medical doctor is not easy. This is not a career for people who do not see themselves working more than 50 hours per week and on holidays. This is not a career for people who prefer to move around a lot. This is not a career for people who aren't good with responsibility and focus. When you're in front of the interview panel or when an admissions committee is reading your personal statement, unconvincingly spewing a list of reasons why being a doctor is awesome, comes across as such and admissions committee members know that.
The interview and personal statements will either explicitly ask you why you want to be a doctor or inadvertently through questions like, "tell me about yourself?

If you don't know your strengths, there is a career counselor, mentor, a brave best friend or self-help book that can start you on your journey.
