I have come a long way in my career in the medical field. After high school, I decided to become a medical office assistant. I enjoyed that so much that I went back to school to become a registered nurse. I did that for a few years and then I went to medical school to become a doctor.

I am now very well known in the medical community and I have gone on to become one of the top surgeons in the country. I am not one to brag, as I am actually a pretty humble person, but there were so many things against me when I first started.

My mother was an alcoholic and told me numerous times that I would never amount to anything and my dad was just indifferent. I felt that I had something to prove to both of them and to myself and I have not quite finished proving it yet.

The greatest words that my ears have ever heard was the day that my dad said he was proud of me. That was what made this all worth it.
