Personal Mission Statements


an important question arose: How would I put my love for sports and medicine together?


I have begun to understand the answer, but it still has to develop more fully. Having such


high family values, I want to keep my grades and morals high at all times to build my


character for the future. Throughout my career, personal, and academic goals I have real-


ized that I want to be successful in sports medicine, have a stress-free life, and follow my


religion. I also want to emulate my mother’s traits.


First, my aspirations are to be a doctor in the field of sports medicine ...


I plan on receiving a good education at Loyola, which will give me a stable career with


less stress on me. For example, while growing up I sometimes saw my parents’ friends, who


were doctors, flourish and seem to have a great amount of happiness ...


In addition, my religion, Islam, plays a strong role in who I am, and who I want to be ...

In conclusion, being a sports physician will build me a foundation to support a family.


I will hopefully be able to supply my family with the essentials it will need, which in turn


will make me happy. Following my religion and my mother’s ways, I believe it will help me


in my future. I feel that I have made the right decision by choosing psychology as my


major, and that it will help me in my career of sports medicine.
