Thanks for reading. In my PS I'm trying to tell a story which explains how/why I decided medicine is right for me. I have a great experience from high school I would like to include because it played a big role in my decision to pursue this career. I have read (and have been told by an adviser of mine) that we should really only include experiences from the beginning of college and anything earlier is pretty risky, so I'd like some more feedback. The experience:
I had this great AP bio teacher who got me interested in human biology and disease. I was so intrigued that I decided to start a shadowing program for students at my high school who were interested in pursuing a career in healthcare. I did a lot of the leg work to get things set up, and it ended up with a group of 15 students getting to spend a day or two at the local hospital shadowing the medical staff. There's more detail to the story, but this is the gist of it.
Thoughts?
