Career GoalI Would Like To Become A Cardio Thoracic Surgeon Once I Am Done With Doing Pre Medicine Studies. I Have Had This Dream Since I Was In The 8th Grade And, Decided That I Wanted To Help People In The Biggest Impact I Could: Being A Surgeon To Me Is Definitely Something That Could Impact Other Lives. Why I Specifically Chose This Profession Is Because, I Always Have Been Intrigued When It Comes To How The Heart And Lungs Work. After I Took My First Biology Class In The 8th Grade, I Knew This Is What I Was Meant Do. I Know That’s An Early Age To Decide What Job You Want To Have For The Rest Of Your Life, But I Know It’s True, And I Hope One Day It Will Become My Life.
