Personal Statement

My interest in medicine started a long time ago when I was in elementary school. I always loved learning new things involving science and math. They both seemed to flow together in one way or another. With all my passion for math and science, it seemed like a no brainier to do something in the medical field.

I don’t have a lot of relevant work experiences that relate that much to the medical field, or even science. However, working at HyVee does relate to math, like having to count money. I do have experience in working with people and figuring out what they need, which you need in the medical field. Besides working at HyVee, I have also volunteered for a bible school, so I have had to work with kids a lot.

My career goal is to do something in the medical field, whether it is nursing or physical therapy. I think I would be good at those because I am hardworking, dedicated, have good communication skills, and am a good learner. All of those skills are necessary when it comes to working with people and in the medical field. My personal characteristics are being friendly, persistent, compassionate, and integrity.

I should be chosen out of the other candidates because I am a very hard worker, and do more than what is just asked of myself. I am passionate in everything I do, and will not settle for anything less than excellent. I have the skills and personality traits necessary to work in the medical field as listed above. That is why I think that I am the best candidate for this job than any of the other applicants.

I would give you a 5 because the topic was narrow and I understood everything you talked about. Also because you wrote it about your experience and it all your questions are anticipated and answered.

Very well done Jenny. I also love the whole idea of working in the medical field. This fall I'm planning to go for dental assisting. Anyway, I wouldnt change anything in your personal statement. You got to me clearly and you also said what you strongly believe in! Way to go!

Sorry Jenny, I forgot to give you a score.....5 out of 5, because, again, you were very specific and you told the reader just what you believe in and hope to accomplish!
