About
This is my third semester at Jacksonville State University. I am from Ecuador, and my first language is Spanish. In Ecuador, I studied medicine.Now, I am taking many classes here at Jacksonville State University. I think I will use writing and speaking in the future for my career as a doctor.
I have wanted to be a doctor ever since I was young. I have always wanted to become a pediatrician. Becoming a doctor is tough, but I know I can make it. I think it will be amazing to have the experience of helping people and saving lives. This year I am planning to earn good grades that will be the beginning of my effort in my career. I am sure I will reach all my goals, and being a doctor is my strongest one. I know that I have to study hard during my college career. If I can be a doctor, that will make me feel complete. In the next ten years, I would like also to get married and have a family. I know that having a family is the most important thing in life. I believe with hard work and patience, I will be able to achieve my dreams.
My life with my parents is really awesome. My parents’ names are Pablo and Cecilia. The life of my parents is an example to follow. I want to be like my parents when I grow up. My parents have taught me that the ideas of my education, religion and good manners since I was child. My parents always say to me I have to take the correct opportunity and make good choices that the life presents to me.
