Me

The future seems to impact my present life the greatest. Although I should not plan so much ahead, I always tend to stress about things that are months and even years away. I like to succeed in everything I do, but not so much in high school. I do not thinik it matters so much if I try here. I am the kind of person who quickly understands and catches on to the courses taught in school and as much as that may sound positive, it makes school uninteresting. Not trying is the consequence of my understanding, and my swift understanding leads me to possess feelings that are not exactly positive for certain straigh A students. It is those over-achievers in school who get their A/s by doing all the homework and extra credit. Of course they may know things but are clueless in how to apply those ideas to the world. I do think knowledge is power (in the non-cheesy way) and one has to know how to use that knowledge to drive them forward.

Since 2005, I have wanted to become an open-heart surgeon. Anatomy and physiology is so interesting to me. I want to help people. Last year is when I finally realized that being a surgeon would not be enough. People do not need doctors here. The United Stares is filled with doctors. Besides, we are America. There is so many people with healthcare or that can just get help. But what about those people around the world? The approximate 20,000 homeless in Pakistan due to flooding? I want to do something bigger and help those who actually need it. My life is not about me anymore.
