My personal strengths, skills, and talents would include art, fast thinking, self confidence, honesty, knowledge of modeling, hunting, fishing, and many other things that make me, me. My personal goals is to be happy with my future job and to have a family of my own, to be happy and content with my life. My long term goal is to be a surgeon, I am not sure what kind of surgeon I wish to be yet, but I plan to figure it out in college. To reach these goals, I plan to make great grades throughout college, to increase my chances of getting into my first choice medical school. The help I will need to reach these goals would be mainly TOPS and my father’s GI Bill. College and medical school is very expensive, but I plan on doing it, whatever it takes. I may also need tutors for different subjects such as math. I want to be the best and I want to achieve greatness for myself, and to prove to myself and others that I am capable of amazing things.

The career and interest goals I have are medical science. I want to be a surgeon more than anything, and I will do whatever it takes to accomplish this dream. My options are vast, there are many ways of achieving my goals, such as the military. I have often thought of joining the Navy after college for their medical school assistance.  The career path that will let me strengthen my talents would be to become a surgeon. I think this because I will need courage and persistence to get there, I will have to be fast thinking and productive, this career field will only strengthen the skills I already have. I must be willing to let it strengthen me rather than let it bring me down.

    After high school, I plan to spend the summer working at home and getting ready to attend ULL in the fall. I plan to finish with a 4 year degree in biology. After this I plan to go off to medical school, I have not decided which school would be best for me yet, but LSU in New Orleans is sounding more like home to every time I look at the website.

What I will do to prepare for this is, to make the best grades that I can, by studying every
day, by working hard and achieving more than I ever thought I could. Over the summer I plan to study biology on my own, learn as much as I can before classes start in August.  To me, this is the best way to prepare myself, with self discipline and determination.
