I thought it would be fun to create our own funny/sarcastic personal statement, composed of all those irrational sentences that come to mind when one is trying to create the sensible personal statement one intends to let the adcoms read (not the crazy one that keeps popping up in my head)...
So, here's mine.
Dear ADCOM folks:
I became interested in medicine during the second week of the third month of the year 1992, at around 11:43:32 A.M. I was only five years old at the time, and was yet again sitting in the pediatrician's office, waiting for the dreaded vaccination or sucky icky medicine he always gave me. I knew fighting would be no good, I had tried that before. But I wanted to DO something.
Ever since, those memories bring back the desire to become a physician. No, it is not because I want to be a pediatrician and cure sick children. It is because that day, I swore I would one day take revenge. I would one day become a doctor and specialize in Geriatric medicine. Then I would look for that old man until I found him, and poke him like he once (many times, actually) poked me. Yes, that is my REAL motivation for becoming a physician.
Also, one day, I realized that going into business was not for me. It was too risky, and too much butt to kiss in order to get to the top.
I realized teaching was not for me. I know yet I can't explain. Plus, I don't like children THAT much.
I once wanted to be an engineer, then realized I would have to take math classes FOREVER. I changed my mind right away.
I also wanted to be a politician for a while. But let's face it: politics make no sense at all, and I like stuff that makes sense.
I once wanted to be a dentist like my father. But then I had the misfortune of finding out--to my surprise and regret--how many people don't bother to brush their teeth.
I have no physical condition, so I knew I could never be a policeman, firefighter, or play a sport for a living. I would simply die.
Then, one day, I thought to myself "Why not be a doctor?"
And at that moment, I knew that is what I wanted to do for the rest of my life.
Oh, yes, and most of all, I want to help people.
Thank You.
PS: At least I'm being honest with you.
Disclaimer: I have more motivations (better ones) for wanting to become a physician other than the ones listed above. This essay is intended to be unrealistic and, in other words, completely ridiculous.
