Purpose

What is your purpose? State your purpose statement

The real world experiences have driven me to go back to school in pursuit of inspiring medical students. I have always had a passion for physical therapy and everything that concerns the health of a human body. I feel motivated when I learn something new about medicine and how I can improve the body fitness of people. Moreover, I want to join a physical therapy program and find a health institution where I can offer my services and assist people. Furthermore, I feel that my real purpose in life is to support individuals in the field of medicine to promote a healthy society. I hope that my strengths and values can help me achieve my dream of promoting a healthy society.

Explain how you came to understand your purpose.

Since I was a little boy, I always had the passion for helping improve the health of people. I would always want to accompany my parents to the hospital since they were both doctors. Throughout my high school life, I always knew that I wanted to undertake a course in the medical field. During my first year in college, I knew what I wanted and decided to earn a degree in physical therapy to achieve my passion and career goal.

In my early years, I always had a dream of becoming a physical therapist. I was able to focus and overcome all the stress and challenges in college that one faces on a daily basis to realize my dream. During my college life, I set out a specific plan on how I would accomplish my dream and even took the steps of rewarding myself for every accomplishment that I made along my education life. My little accomplishments eventually yielded bigger achievements that I a still striving to make them better. Moreover, my major strengths are; consistency, harmony and Restorative. Harmony helps me come up with ways of reaching an agreement every time. In my opinion, one cannot achieve anything if they are always in conflict with other people because of different reasons such as different views. I always strive to reach a harmonious decision when faced with such as situation. Furthermore, I love solving my problems, and this is the reason why I am restorative. While other people feel discouraged when they encounter challenges, I always feel motivated to face them. I like the task of analyzing the symptoms and knowing what is wrong before coming up with solutions. Moreover, consistency is critical in my life. I focus on treating all people in the same way in spite of their life situations, gender or class. In my view, discrimination leads to unfair advantage among people depending on their different backgrounds. These strengths can help me achieve my purpose because I will be dealing with individuals particularly the sick who require a person who will provide them with proper understanding, fairness, kindness, and attention.

Explain how your purpose is related to your career goals.

I began with the desire to assist people through providing care and until the idea extended and influenced me to choose a medical field course. Furthermore, every person comes to this world with a specific purpose. I know that my purpose is to help people in the medical field. My strengths (harmony, restorative and consistency) can help me pursue my dream of helping people in the clinics.
