You know that moment in your life where you stumble upon a few words that you just instantly ‘click’ with? The moment you realise, Oh my gosh, that’s precisely the person I am! For me, that moment was when I stumbled upon this quote, "Curiosity is the wick in the candle of learning" by William Ward. Granted, this quote isn’t necessarily philosophical, nor is it teeming with sophisticated vocabulary; however, such simplicities describe me. Or rather, the vast expanse of my mind. I am not some prodigy born from the womb with a violin in my hand, nor am I a genius who revels in the glory of mathematics (though I do enjoy some trigonometry from time to time). Instead, I am simply NAME, a simple girl with an overflowing sense of curiosity.

#

It was curiosity that produced my plethora of hobbies, one of which was my involvement in the student council at my high school as the official event manager. Throughout my 4 years of serving the student council, I worked on many major events, many of which required high levels of organisation and leadership, qualities that will prove useful in the hospitality scene. Furthermore, being the oldest child in a family of six has exposed me to taking care of young infants since I was a measly 9-year-old. Hospitality is essentially a second-nature occurrence for me, which will prove to be helpful when managing patients in the future.

#

It was also indeed curiosity that started the small flame of interest that fueled a raging fire of passion for discovery, biology, and medicine. My interest in medicine started quite a bit later than you’d expect. Initially, my interest was rooted in biology. I found myself learning the basics and yearned to learn so much more. I loved learning about how my body worked, how each cell and neuron linked to form this massive system that works so harmoniously. Any unknown topic I stumbled upon fascinated me. This newfound interest in biology led me to discover YouTuber Doctor Mike, a family medicine doctor based in the US. His style of explanation, paired with interesting topics, really boosted my interest in medicine day by day. Though I confess that, merely being a high school student, I didn’t understand half the words he used, however, the concepts I grasped quite easily. I began thinking about what a profession in medicine would entail. Of course, there are the hard hours and difficult all-nighters present in my future, but through all that, I find myself thinking of the end result—the place I’d end up in should I choose to go down this path. A future where I’ll not only be able to be of assistance to many people but also a future in which I’m able to constantly learn from experiences. I thrive in a learning environment, where curiosity fuels my everyday work, and I believe the medical field has exactly what I’m yearning for.

#

With my unwavering dedication, passion and preparedness, I believe I’m ready to take the next step in my journey of pursuing medicine and hope you’ll consider me as a student in your university
