Be introspective, is your chosen field your passion? Why or why not?
I can safely say that this field is my passion. The field of Cardiology is an amazing and innovative field that challenges the mind but at the same time gives a great sense of fulfillment to those who do it. This profession has become a passion of mine ever since I could remember. When I was asked in the third grade what I wanted to do when I grew up I answered “Cardiologist.” This field affects me in a very unique way and I hope it is a dream that can soon become a reality for me. I am very excited for the summer not only because I will be out of school but because this summer I am doing an internship at Wakemed. I hope this internship can give me a bird’s eye view of what to expect in this field and I am also hoping that this internship tests my true passion for this profession. I truly believe that my dream of becoming a Cardiologist is my passion. I hope that everyone that answers this question answers the “Why” part instead of the “Why not” because everyone should put themselves in a field they are passionate about. As Professor Bullock said, we on average will spend over ninety thousand hours working, so we might as well pick something we are passionate about.
