I interacted with children through hands-on experience by taking their vital signs, performing lab tests, and trying to ease their fears of coming to the doctor. Helping children was rewarding and the trust they had in me was reassuring that this was the field I was meant to pursue. This also strengthened my desire and desire to become a doctor in the field of pediatrics. My desire and motivation will help me persevere in the face of the challenges of becoming a doctor. When I think of being a doctor, I think of my love for children and the exciting adventure of learning new skills and exploring unpredictable territory in the medical field. Although many career paths offer the opportunity to work with children, the relationship that doctors develop with their patients constitutes a special path. Ultimately, I want parents and their children to trust me as we take this journey.
