Self-Authorship Essay- Who Do I Want to Become
Five years from now the year will be 2020. Looking back over time, Ive come to realize
much can change in five years. Five years ago I was in middle school about to enter high school,
and who knows what the future will hold. Ill be a college graduate and will have obtained my
Bachelors of Science Degree in Biology by the year 2019. Growing up I had always aspired to
become a doctor. It wasnt until I got to middle school when I started exercising my core value of
knowledge. During middle school when I discovered which type of medical doctor I wanted to
become. I was interested in the anatomy of childbirth and the whole female reproductive system,
this interest which lead me to study and occur acquire more knowledge of about the career job
of an Obstetrician/Gynecologist, Ob/Gyn for short. I have always been an eager person to go out
and do research and gain knowledge of things that interested me. I am a curious learner, who
loves to understand different dynamics and aspects of life. Being a doctor will mean obtaining
endless amount of knowledge of not only the medical field, but of the world as well. It gives me
a great feeling knowing that I will always be able to explore my curiosity in my career.
Subsequently, after I graduated, I will be attending a medical school in the state of
Georgia, to continue to pursuing my dream of becoming an Ob/Gyn. Being engaged in my
studies as a medical student will improves my concentration of obtaining my residency license to
become a doctor. However, I will also have other hobbies and physical activities that will keep
me up and going in life. Working out in the gym is a great activity for me mentally and also

physically. I enjoy going to gym, it has a way of letting all my stress out. When Im dealing with
my medical school stress I can always go to the gym and get rejuvenated.
Continuing on to be As I continue to grow as a person, my character strength of
leadership is still going to be active and incorporated in my life, especially still being a role
model to my youngest sister. role model to my little sister is how my character strength of
leadership is going to be incorporated in my life. I feel and believe that once you becoming
become a leader to someone, you shouldnt stop having a good influence on them. being that role
model. You truly never know how influential you can be to someone. As I become a doctor, my
influences around the world and to others is going to become greater. Through my journey of
becoming a licensed doctor, I want to travel to different underdeveloped countries around the
world and help improve their health systems. Ill use my leadership role to build and improve the
hospital and clinics they have. I know in some countries, like the Congo, there are a lot of
unsanitary and undeveloped clinics and hospitals. There are not a lot of great trained doctors and
nurses around, which also increases the death rate with medical malpractice. These are one of
many types of deaths that happen in countries because of the lack of vital resources, such as
medication for the ill, treatments for diseases, and the countries health system deficit financial
support. In the near future, my career job of a doctor is not going to remain stagnant. as to I
dont only want to work at the hospital to fulfil the job requirements, there is more to do in my
life apart from that. My career will have great meaning because Ill am not doing things be
working hard for others and not just for my own cause. I feel like that my calling is to helping
and heal the world is my calling. Not only making sure Im healthy, but also making sure I have
to make sure the world around me is healthy.

My second character strength of having hope, being optimist, as well as being futureminded oriented will allow me to establish an organization of well trained nurses and doctors. I
want my partners to be that are willing to travel to underdeveloped countries to so they can work
and give aid to hospitals and clinics that are those in need. I believe that everyone deserves to
have and live a good and healthy life. Some people do not get to have that opportunity due to
their health or the environment they were born in. The future is something that can be altered and
changed in the hands of the right minds. Being able to develop this organization is a positive
emotion for me. I will be able to use my character strength as a leader and have that great
pleasure and feeling of happiness when of being able aiding to help other people around the
world.
Looking into the next five years I will have my family right by my side. My parents
raised my siblings and I to be each others support system. That is how our relationship still is
today. Were always at each others side when times are good, and even when they get rough. I
can always go to my siblings when I need advice or someone to talk to. My brothers and sisters
are my biggest fans. I believe there isnt anyone else in the world that wants to see me
succeeding as much as they do. Having their positive energy and relationship around is what
keeps me motivated, especially when times gets rough. Trust me, I know times will get rough. I
believe have confidence that I was created to be the breadwinner of my family. I want to see my
family happy, because I know growing up we had seen many unhappy days. Being able to obtain
a successful career will be great for my family and I. I hate Seeing anyone that I love struggle
daily, it leaves a deep scar in my heart. Life shouldnt be about struggling day to day trying to
find a way to feed yourself and family. There are many people who wake up every morning and

Bolobiongo 4

dont know when or if they will have a meal for that day, and I was once a victim of it. Those
were the worst days for me and my family and I. I promised myself that when I got older I will
never let that ever happen to my family and I us again.
I have My two best-friends very close friends, Priscilla and Faith, who I love and care
for dearly have always been by my side. I have been friends known with Priscilla since we were
five years old. We grew up together, and became the best of friends. Ive known have been
friends with Faith since middle school, and we built a great bond together throughout the years. I
have these two friends I can talk to Priscilla and Faith about who I can talk to about any and
everything. I love being around them because I get to be myself, I dont have to be filtered or
reserved around with them. They know who I really am, the weird and goofy person, and they
still love me anyway. I value my friendship with them because they always try to lead and advise
me to the right path. I believe this is where My third character strength of capacity to love and
be loved developed plays a key role in my friendships and relationships. I am a person who
values close relations with others, and I love and care for the ones who love and care for me. Ill
still will have Priscilla and Faith by my side, also because I see no reason of why they wouldnt
be. I genuinely care for my best-friends and want nothing but the best for them. I enjoy having
them around, because they keep me happy. There is always laughter and great spirit when we are
together. There is no greater feeling than that.
In the next five years Writing the self-authorship essay of Who I am and Who I want to
become encouraged me to get more motivated on working hard to achieve my goals. The
writings made sit back and really think about how I want my life to be in the future, and how I
can make my goals and dreams come true. I want my future to be just the way I imagine it. In the

Bolobiongo 5

next five years from now Ill will be admitted and attending medical school pursuing with aims
to become a licensed doctor. Ill will start traveling to different underdeveloped countries around
the world to see where I can aid to those in need. Ill have My family will always be by my side,
and I couldnt imagine living without them. Not Last, but not least have Ill still have my two
best-friends along, being around them makes keeps my life at ease. Achieving my goals for my
future career, and relationships all these factors will be my greatest accomplishments. and
achievements in my life. Being able to devote my energy to my career, family, and friends is
what I long for in my future. These are the factors in my life that keep me sane and motivated to
live life to its fullest. I couldnt imagine my life without my family and friends in it loved ones,
and also I cant imagine what other career Ill enjoy having than the one Ive dreamed about all
my life.

My Response: Elyssa Morales

Overall, your essay is not confusing in any aspects. It flows rather nicely. I can clearly see how
you imagine your life in the next five years. My one suggestion would be to create a more
seamless transition between paragraphs. Making the topics connect enhances the papers flow.

Your story has a really great flow to it. It was easy to read and you explained really well how you
became interested in becoming a doctor and what medical field you wanted to pursue in. You
should explain more in detail about traveling to underdeveloped countries to help the children in
need.
