I have to write about why I want to become a doctor for my medical school personal statement

– I need a paper talking about why I want to become a doctor. This is my personal statement for medical school.
-I want the first part to be this :
          (  As kids, we all dream of becoming either an astronaut or a princess. In my case        though, even as a child I already knew that all I wanted was to become a surgeon. Some kids would be playing with toys in their free time, meanwhile I would be dissecting worms just for fun.  As I was growing up I would always be watching YouTube videos of various surgeries and it ignited my passion of becoming a surgeon even more. I admire how much accuracy, patience, and precision you need for this type of field. Even to this day I randomly watch surgery videos at 2am. )
– All of this I want worded in a nice way to make it seem like I’m telling a story.

– After that I want to talk about what else inspired me to become a doctor.
          (. When I was 11 I had a near death experience.  I was vomiting for so many days and I had a lot of pain in my lower abdomen. I went to the doctor and he said this seems serious. So I got admitted into the hospital and they told me if I came later then I would not have made it. I loved how they constantly checked in on me and checked my IV and vitals every day.  They did surgery a week after because it turns out I had appendicitis. I had such a good child hood and this turned everything around. This whole experience gave me so much appreciation for everything that doctors and nurses do because without them, I probably would not be here today writing this.)

– I want this all rewritten in a way to also tell a story about the other reason why I want to become a doctor.
-Then I want the ending to tie everything together. I am also open to any suggestions. I want the medical schools to see my paper stand out from others.
-it has to be 1500 words maximum.

Malcolm X speeches Analysis

  This expanded essay investigates how Malcolm X utilizes a unique and effective language in his political speeches. In addition, the usage of the emotional appeal to unite all the audience and avoid their differences especially in terms of religion. Malcolm X is an African American Muslim minister and human rights activist born in 1925 in Omaha, Nebraska. He is one of the most dynamic, dramatic influential figures of the civil rights era. That is why I decided to base my essay on three different political speeches written originally in English by Malcolm X: “The Ballot or the Bullet,  The House Negro, and the Field Negro, and who taught you to hate yourself. Malcolm X was influenced by his father Earl Little, who was a Baptist minister and a local organizer for the Universal Negro Improvement Association.

                The three chosen speeches portray significant issues Malcolm X aimed to raise awareness of. Human rights, self-respect, black nationalism, white oppression, and the nation of Islam are the major themes for the chosen speeches as most of his speeches reflect. Malcolm Xs speeches have had an enormous significance in the success of his mission that left him with a huge audience that respects and follows his lead to protect themselves from white supremacy. Those three speeches are pretty similar and aimed at the same goals Malcolm X was trying to achieve. Although they are very different in terms of several elements such as language, theme, the time they are written, and the audience they address.

      The essay will state the main differences and similarities between the three political speeches and how each of them affects his audience. Furthermore, it will illustrate the rhetorical devices and persuasive techniques he uses to explain his political views. Even though Malcolm X uses allegorical and metaphorical language to persuade African Americans, he uses facts and realities to prove what he was saying instead of talking about what is going on, and what people already know. He is direct, clear, and bold to raise awareness and follow-up on the African Americans political maturity without any fear of the consequences. His speeches play a big role in shedding the light on how the government is prohibiting them from the rights they are
entitled to enjoy as human beings, and not just Black people or African Americans.

research summary

Students are expected to write critical autobiographical descriptions throughout the semester as part of their ‘Our Sporting Lives’ project. These reflections provide points of reference for the Our Sporting Lives project, track understandings of social and cultural differences for the courses concluding dialogues, and contribute to discussions by prompting students to think about how course concepts apply to their own lived experiences.
Module 1 topic reflections will build upon each other to deepen personal reflections by integrating additional research. Students will first write an empirical/experiential reflection, next summarize a related additional scholarly source, and finally synthesize their empirical and scholarly sources to further critically reflect on their gendered sporting experiences.
Module 1 topic reflection 2 is due by midnight on Friday, September 25th. Each of the Module 1 topic reflections are worth 10 points and the topic reflections together are worth 20% of the total course grade.
Please note: This class, and these reflections and the discussions they will prompt, are for students with all levels of experiences with sport – elite and recreational, team and individual, participant or consumer (i.e. fan), enriching and alienating, inclusive and exclusive. Please utilize topic reflections to think and write about these experiences, whatever they may be.

Module 1 topic reflection 2, Our (Gendered) Sporting Lives – research summary

Article selection

For Module 1 topic reflection 2, students will choose 1 appropriate article from pre-selected academic articles (see the shared Module 1 bibliiography google doc) exploring the experiences of men, women, and various LGBT athletes to situate their own lived experiences and supplement their discussion of a personal experience related to Module 1 content (gender, sex, and/or sexuality) (see Module 1 topic reflection 1).

Students may want to consider the following questions when selecting an article:

What is the gendered sporting experience(s) you will be focusing on (see Module 1 topic reflection 1) and its connection to related concepts and consequences of orthodox gender ideology?

How would this article support a critical reflection on your selected experience?

e.g. The article is about  ______ (see the article abstract). This supports my experience of ______ (see above) through the author’s focus on ______ (key concepts or research findings that are similar, or in some way relatable, to what you’ll be writing about).

Once selected, students should download a .pdf of the article to closely read and annotatePreview the document in order to achieve the level of comprehension necessary to integrate the source into their writing.

Research Summary Criteria

Module 1 topic reflection 2 (10 points) will be evaluated on the following criteria. Each of the criteria will be graded as complete, incomplete, or absent.
Summary (8 points)
Summarize your selected scholarly article (approx. 250 words; paragraph format; in the following order)
Content (approx. 100 words; 4 points)
what is the article about? (e.g. what topic, sport, person/people are the authors researching)
what are the major findings? (of their research)
Critique (approx. 150 words; 4 points)
how did the author(s) come to their conclusions? (e.g. what questions did they ask? what ‘methods’ did they use to answer their questions?)
what do your agree and disagree with about the article? (e.g. what are your critiques of the research? what points of the research really resonated with you? how will the article be useful to reflect on your own sporting experience(s)?)
Support (2 points)
Support your summary by paraphrasing (Author, Year) or directly citing (Author, Year, p. #) your selected scholarly source.
Students should use correct APA in-text citation when paraphrasing or directly quoting from sources.
For examples of correct APA citation format, see: https://owl.english.purdue.edu/owl/resource/560/01/.
Incorrect citation practices can result in plagiarism. Plagiarism is defined by the CLAS Code of Academic Honesty as “using the words, sentences, arguments, rhetorical structures, and ideas of another without proper citation and acknowledgment” and includes:
Failing to use quotation marks properly or when needed, give a source for quoted materials, give a source for paraphrases, paraphrase language completely, and/or cite sources correctly and completely
Students should provide an APA-formatted bibliographic citation for your selected scholarly source at the end of their reflection
For examples of correct APA bibliographic format, see: https://owl.english.purdue.edu/owl/resource/560/01/.
Students will post their Module 1 topic reflection 2 in a group discussion between students in the same community cohort, or ‘homeroom’. Students will not see any posts by their peers until they have posted themselves. Though students will not be required to respond to other students in this discussion they should still read the posts of their peers to become familiar with additional article selections and research on Module 1 topics and/or to better understand their own selected article (if others in their group had the same selection).

Compare and contrast

In your Response Paper, you will write a comparison contrast essay of two texts covered in the first three weeks of the course.  Using the Literary Toolbox link  and the Literary Reader Response link, you will focus on  may focus on similarities and differences with the text.

Main Goals of the Comparison/Contrast Reader Response Essay:

1) Identify and explain three or more key points that two or more subjects have as similarities or difference (or both).

2)  Show the similarities and/or differences between these points.

You can use outside citation for your comparison.

Paper format: MLA, 12 point font, Times New Roman.
The two texts are in the response paper doc

case study

For this final project you will continue with the social issue that you selected (language and power; freedom and security; health and wealth) and you will write an essay where you discuss your perspective. You will use the ideas and information from the summary-response and the quote log to write your case study. You will submit a first draft and a revised draft of this assignment.

Signature Strength in a New Way

Just as we all experience happiness and subjective well-being differently, so too do we have differing strengths of character. It is important o note here that when you look at the results of your VIA- survey, what you will see is the strengths that come easiest or most naturally to you are at the top AKA your signature strength (the ones you own, celebrate & frequently exercise), while as you go further down the list of your strengths, these are the ones that do not occur as easily or naturally- yet they are ALL strengths  You can refer to page 159 in your textbook to get a glimpse of what this exercise will entail.

PRIOR to participating in this brief exercise, you need to complete the VIA Survey.  You can go  back to  https://www.authentichappiness.sas.upenn.edu (Links to an external site.)  to sign on & complete the survey if you havent  already completed it when you went to the site early in the semester.

#1. THE EXERCISE
After you have completed your VIA Survey and  identified your top strengths, you will then pick one of your signature strengths and you are to use it in a new way every day for a week.  Ideas are offered for you in the textbook on pages 159-162, but you are welcome to come up with your own ideas.

#2. THE WRITING COMPONENT
Comment on what your top character strengths were, which signature strength you selected. Then describe how you used this strength in a new way, how you subjectively felt in using your strength in this new way, and offer any additional insights you gained form this exercise. Make sure to connect with the concepts from the learning materials.

Your submission should be between 300-500 words. Please keep in mind, proper writing is expected (new paragraphs, punctuation, no abbreviations or text speak,” clearly edited, free of grammar mistakes or misspellings, and APA cited if appropriate/necessary). Outline or bulleted formats are not acceptable.
