Blog #49: Dreams


One dream I have had my whole life would be to do something in the medical field that involves helping people. I really want to help people and I find science and the human body to be fascinating. I love learning about the body and what we are capable of doing with our bodies. I think that biology and anatomy are very interesting subjects and I do not mind learning all that there is to know about those topics. My dreams have changed through out the years as to what exactly I want to do in the medical field, and I feel I still have plenty of time to decide what I want my job to be when I am older. As of now, I am leaving my options open with the hopes that I become an oral surgeon, while my back plan is to become a physician’s assistant or possibly go to medical school. I like knowing the direction I want to head and I like knowing that my dream is somewhat open ended so that way I am not disappointed and I allow myself some growth over time. My dream once I become an oral surgeon is that I am able to have a family and still work and enjoy my life. I dream that I will use new technology in hopes of creating new techniques. I know that this is a long ways off, and I hope my dreams do not change too much or for the worst. I also hope that I am able to accomplish some of these dreams, if not all of them.

  1. My favorite classes are biology as well. We kind of have the same career plan, since i want to go to medical school and if that doesnt work out then PA school too.

  2. It is interesting to think about the new technology and changes in techniques over the years. I always wonder how the medical field will be different in the upcoming years.

  3. Davis: Do you know what you want to do in the medical field or are you still thinking about it??

  4. Will: I agree it is weird to think about how technology has and will change and especially in the medical field. I hope to be a part of it one day.

  5. Being in the medical field sounds very interesting. I don't know if I would want to be a surgeon though- the idea of cutting people apart is unpleasant. However, many surgeons probably think this at first but get used to it.

  6. Yeah I think so. I just do not think about it that way and also has a lot to do with the fact that I grew up around it. Yeah it takes time to get used to it, but it also has to deal with what you are capable of handling mentally (like blood and things like that).

  7. It may sound like it would be a bad job, but I have heard that due to lack of people in the profession, Nursing is becoming a fairly well paid job with great benefits. Maybe just something to think about.

  8. What would be a bad job? I would not want to be a nurse simply because I would want to do more of the surgery aspect of it. I have nothing against nurses (my mom was one for many years), I just want the title and the responsibilities.
