    passion of mine if I continue to focus on my tasks, stay organized, and
    remain dedicated, I am sure that I will overcome this
    - I want to make a significant difference within my challenge – and this goes for all cons/obstacles
    community and this career path will allow that
    - Extremely competitive and difficult to get accepted in
    - I will further develop my leadership abilities by universities or programs; however, this challenges me

    Universities are around $7,700 per year, residency is
    approximately $10,600 to $11,000 annually - Have to work long hours without breaks

    - In my “Must Haves Versus Nice-to-Haves” chart, I


    explained that I must also inspire people around me,
    and while being a surgeon, I can achieve this by
    teaching others when I am not handling with a patient

    - The medical field opens up a wide variety of


    opportunities for learning different aspects, and not
    only regarding surgeons. Even if I do not reach my goal

    numerous options to pursue my career in this field

    perform, which is really exciting because I like to

    surgery, and heart valve surgery

    allow me to further improve my transferable skills, help
    my community, live a joyful and relaxed life where I
    am able to provide for my family, as well as feel
    accomplished and proud of my successes through an

    moments and it was far from my comfort zone, but it - I am more interested in science and want to learn
    was the perfect opportunity to develop my abilities more about medical-related topics

    - Math is a huge aspect of this career path and I feel as - Higher tuition costs – more than $10,000 (Ryerson
