After working hard and coming so far, I'm unable to follow through with my application. I cannot write a satisfactory personal statement. Everything I write is wrong, cliche, too general, negative, boring, etc.. I don't understand why I can't simply say that I want to be a doctor because it would allow me to study something I'm genuinely interested in and then use that to help others. That's the truth. WTF am I supposed to do? Why do I have to write an entertaining essay? I'm not going to be writing essays to entertain people as a doctor, or do I have the wrong idea about medicine? Is medical school full of hoops like this? I feel so mad and disillusioned with medicine right now, mostly because if this is what I have to do to practice it, I don't know if I can do it. I know it sounds rediculous that I'm saying this because I can't write that damn personal statement, but I'm seriously suffering here.
