Ever since I was a child, I have always been very curious on how the human body functions. At first, I got all the answers to my questions by asking elder people, but when my interest in reading began to develop, I started to read books and encyclopaedias to satisfy my inquisitiveness. I fell in love with Science since I was in primary school, but Biology has always been my favourite part of science, and still is. I am thrilled every time I learn something new about the human body, as it never ceases to fascinate me.
During my secondary school years, I joined the Red Crescent Society, hoping that I may not only know the facts and theories about our body, but also the opportunity to apply what I have learned. Unfortunately, there are only limited first aid skills for me to learn, as the organization's headquarter at my hometown only organizes first aid courses occasionally. The opportunities for me to apply the skills I have learned are even rare, as the only time our skills are truly needed is during our school's Sports Day. Nevertheless, I appreciate all the little first aid skills I have learned, and all the little chance I have to provide first aid. It was during this period when I first started to consider physician as my career.
The field of medicine attracted me because of its dualistic nature, which combines both scientific knowledge and human interaction. In my opinion, a doctor should not only be knowledgeable in the medical field, but also able to show compassion and care towards people. Having taken a career test some time ago, it indicated me that I possess two critical personality types, namely "Investigative" and "Social", which are vital qualities for a physician. I strongly believe that I am capable and qualified to undertake the task as a medical student, and eventually a physician.
I also wish to become a doctor because I am motivated to help the needy and serve humanity. I always felt a sense of joy and accomplishment when helping others. I sincerely hope that as a physician, I can help patients recover from their ailments and diseases, or at least, ease their sufferings. I have some experiences in providing some simple first aid to others, and I truly enjoyed helping those people. I do realize that Medicine is a challenging programme, and I am prepared for it.
In conclusion, I believe that with the interest, qualification and values that I possess, IMU can pave my way as I work towards achieving achieving my ambition to be a doctor. I do sincerely hope that by being accepted into this university, it will mark my first step into the medicine world by moulding my foundation and qualities into those of a professional and dedicated doctor in order to be able to serve others in the future.
