Cobi Bissell

Striving to be accepted into a prestigious medical school with an emphasis in Orthopedics. Orthopedics was the most intriguing profession I shadowed and instantly became hooked when observing in the operating room (OR). I would love to specialize in sports medicine, such as shoulders and knees, but I am open to whatever path life may take me. The main reason i chose a health care profession is because it is the occupation where i feel like i can be the best servant. Living a life of servitude has been my calling since day one, not only physically but spiritually as well. I intend to lead others in making the right choices in the medical field along with guiding my peers to allow christ into their lives.

The University of Missouri has a great grad school that i would love to attend, and i'm sure being an undergraduate at the University itself can only help my cause of getting accepted. I am al so interested in attending The University of Arkansas because they have a prestigious graduate school, and it seems like an environment where a sociable person like myself could thrive.

I love to read non-fiction novels, specifically Stephen King novels. I also enjoy spending time with my friends playing intramural sports such as flag football and basketball at the Mizzou Rec Center. Most importantly, I enjoy discovering my faith and leadership skills with my peers involved in student mobilization (stumo), which is run through the University of Missouri.
