Why I want to study Medicine

Why I want to study Medicine...

1. Societal contribution and eminent form of public service - strong community orientation and the ability to enrich souls. You help people and care for others; community comes first.
2. Respectable and revered occupation. The fact that it's so competitive really adds to its eminence. And I'm a competitive person. I've been inspired by the Doctors I have been with on work experience. I would love Dr. next to my name.
3. Allows me to be the best I can be, stretching myself to the fullest capacity emotionally and intellectually. 
4. Dynamism - I will enjoy being a Doctor
5. Extremely emotionally rewarding. 
6. Will allow me to apply the maxims of my Christian faith, through the principles of the career such as benevolence, the need to be caring and compassionate. 
7. I enjoy solving problems and applying principles to problems
8. With my love for God, comes my love for People
9. I am motivated and spurred on by Maths and Science - particularly Human Physiology and Neuroscience.
10. It's an ancient Art, which I want to participate in and address in my own personal, unique and creative way, in the light of Hippocrates' unique and historical contribution to the vocation. It is also a Science that is progressing at an incredible rate (technologically etc.) - a simple walk into BBC New Health will find you no short-comings to exemplify this. In future, more innovative tech will be used by Doctors - that sounds like an exciting prospect!
11. The fact that I've always wanted to work in the NHS (probably because my Mum's a nurse), a desire reinvigorated by the birth of my younger brother in 2011, where there were problems leading up to the pregnancy, such as a miscarriage* of a twin, and his heart rate accelerating abnormally right before birth. This nevertheless did not hinder the existence of the healthy two year old he is today. I was inspired by the ability of advanced Medicine to bring about a successful birth and the astuteness and caring nature of the health-professionals in place to make decisive decisions and conduct a successful Cesarean Section. My younger brother is the testimony of that.
12. My own intrinsic and carefully developed attributes apply to Medicine (developed through all my experiences over the past few months), e.g. community orientation, care for others, commitment to society and helping others, my interpersonal and communication skills, preparing to deal with inevitable "stress" and "pressure" mentioned before, academic ability, team work, independence, compassion and prospect to be a medical leader.
13. Job security and immediate employment
14. Decent graduate pay, and a clear-cut career ladder that enhances motivation
