job shadow with dr joel ramirez
At a very young age, I was interested in the human body, the organs and the structure of the body. As gruesome at it may sound, I was never really disgusted with operation procedures and blood, as a matter of fact I saw it as fascinating and amazing how a person could fix another person's health by doing a procedure in their body. I was able to job shadow a life long dream of mine, a doctor. Even though it is a long shot to shoot for, I know that one day I could be a helpful citizen in the medical field. Even if I do not go towards the medical field I will go to a field that helps patients and people feel better about themselves, whether it be for their personal appearance or an absolute need of theirs. I will most likely go towards the dental field. I found this experience to be very memorable. Through Dr. Ramirez I learned what you need in order to achieve your dreams.
