      Ignoring an issue will not make it go away. Experiencing pain and suffering is what humans cannot avoid. We all have and will experience it. It is best to tackle challenges rather than avoid them. Suffering and death are unavoidable aspects of life, and we shall all confront them sooner or later. It makes no sense to bury one's head in the sand and pretend these things don't exist. Medicine offers a direct view of suffering and death. Suffering is an integral part of the experience of illness, and addressing it is a key duty of healthcare. While many might find this unsettling, I find it empowering. It represents a chance to take charge and confront the challenges that come with entering the medical field and managing them. When battling diseases, you don't feel powerless; instead, you see every action as a step toward improvement and to ensure the people you are helping can also see that. There's always potential for change, and it all depends on your mindset. There is a privilege to seeing someone be hopeful once more due to your own efforts, your own strength that you put into for somebody else. Unfortunately, many individuals hesitate to take risks or pursue their ambitions, which often results in them feeling stuck and going in circles without making real progress. I've witnessed in my own family how some individuals who initially had big dreams became complacent and stopped putting in the extra effort. The worst thing you can do is become lazy, and for those who believe they can achieve a job in the medical field without sacrifice, perseverance and grit will have. harsh wake-up call. It's essential to step outside one's comfort zone to truly discover and fulfill one's potential. Applying myself to go further in life through college gives me a strong sense of purpose and the opportunity to make a meaningful impact on the lives of others. In the field of sonography, professionals are tasked with the important job of comforting patients, ensuring they feel valued and cared for, all while completing their duties efficiently. My lifelong aspiration has been to help those in need, and I believe that graduating from a prestigious institution will greatly enhance my career prospects and open up numerous opportunities in the healthcare field. Even if I don't achieve every dream I have, I will never regret not having given my all, and that is not something everybody can say.
