why I am interested in medicine and how I will use it to provide,
good health care for the people of Indonesia in the future
About eight years ago my grandmother died because of the illness that she had. She was sufered from diabetes. Ever since she was diagnosed with diabetes she often got hospitalied, and I often there to visit her. !hat"s the #rst time that I realied that I was captivated by the doctors ability to cure their patients, and how the patients trust and respect them. !he fact that doctors save lives also caught my heart and that is something that truly fascinated me. !hat was the beginning of my ambition to become a doctor, to save many people"s life, and to establish important lin$s with others at both critical and noncritical moments in their lives. %urthermore as the ambition of being a doctor grow more in me. &hich I li$e to call it my inner desire because since the ambition of being a doctor came I don"t $now what else I want to be in life e'cept being a doctor and I had always assumed that I would go to medical school. I en(oyed the fact that my elementary school has little doctor program, little doctor is a program that choose several students who meet the criteria and have been trained to participate in the establishment and maintenance the health improvement in school environment. I was so proud to be chosen as one of the school"s little doctor and got to wear the white coat. )eing chosen as the little doctor gave me the opportunity to e'perienced what it feels li$e to be a doctor at a very young age and e'plore something new. I realied that I got the satisfaction in helping people, giving them medicine, and ease their pain. As a policeman my dad had to move to some very small regions of the country li$e *apua, East +usa !enggara, &est .Sumatra and Southeast Sulawesi due to his duty. As a family we all had to move as well in order to be united with my father. &ith that, I got to see what Indonesia really is, I got to observed many tribes and tradition that I"ve never $new before. I also discovered that not all regions in Indonesia give the best health care to their people. ,sually there will be a long -ueue to visit a doctor and the patients had to pay a lot to get their medicines. And sometimes the conditions of the health centers are unfeasible, such as dirty health centers or minimal medical e-uipment. )ut what really moves me as a human is when I e'periencing the *adang earth-ua$e in September ./, 0//1. It was reported that 2,223 dead, 2,024 severely in(ured and 2,566 slightly in(ured after the earth-ua$e I discover that the most needed things are medical supplies and also doctors and nurses, as a survivor myself I got to discover that so many countries sent their orthopaedic surgeon, a general surgeon, an anaesthetist, general practitioners to help the victims. At that moment I really wanted to help to cure the victims. )ecause to see lifeless bodies, in(ured children, and people"s bodies in pain was really moves me and I wish I could do something to help them recovered and that was when the ambition of being a doctor grow in me even more and I li$e to call it 7the calling" because since I was a $id I"ve always wanted to help people and save their lives. And I $now that *elita 8arapan ,niversity has one of the best medical school in 9a$arta with global standard education. *elita 8arapan ,niversity ofers me more than the great reputation of this #ne ,niversity but many activities, both academic and non:academic, to participate in. I"m e'cited about being close enough to learn more of my ambition and ma$ing it come true. &ith the help of the *elita 8arapan I"m sure I"ll be a successful doctor to provide a good health care for Indonesia or even to the world.
