Believing That You Can
goal in my life is to be a good mother and provide the best
childhood experience for my daughter. That is why I want
to work really hard in life to give her all the things that I did
not have. The most important thing is to give her good
education for a better future.

My Goal to Become a Doctor
My long-term goal is to become a doctor. The reasons
why I want to be a doctor (specifically a surgeon) are for
my career, my family, and to help my country. First of all,
we live in a world where the number of sick people
increases every year, and the need for doctors to provide
care to those people is enormous. Having a career in health
care will allow me to give my participation in the battle to
keep this world healthy. Second, working as a doctor will
not only be a career for me, but it will give me a plethora of
opportunities, too, such as meeting my financial and
familial needs. Also, becoming a doctor will allow me to
spend time with my family. Third, as in most emerging
world countries, there is a lack of doctors in my country,
Haiti.
My Haitian fellows need some medical specialists to
provide care for them; therefore, having a career in
medicine will help me to assist them in their health. Perhaps
in the future I will be able to build a hospital for them with
my personal financial fund and support I will receive from
other colleagues. In conclusion, my long-term goal is to
become a doctor. I want to be a doctor, especially a surgeon,
for my career, my family, and to help my country.
