Deriving Purpose From Within
Personally, my definition of being successful is finding my purpose. After reading some definitions of purpose, I only became more rooted in my own. To me, my purpose is found in using my skill set to do the things that make the most sense to me. This means having a strong sense of self and knowing what I hold to be valuable in my life. This definition of success has changed drastically in recent years. I used to think of success as being financially stable, having a job, and being an independent adult. These came from family, society, and other outside influences. While these things do hold some merit, they are not where I derive my purpose from. Developing my self-awareness and knowledge has led me to my current definition, and it is one that I am incredibly satisfied with.“The Perfect Ask”
In the following proposal for this position, I outline the clearly defined outcome measures I have found that we share. These can be boiled down to three words found across three fields: conceptualization, consolidation, and communication in social determinants of health, community health, and LGBTQ+ health.Interest in Bioethics
After I learned about the Tuskegee Study, my interests have increased within different areas of biomedical ethics. While learning about patient’s rights, I found that there can be many gray areas that bring about a lot of concern for patients. This can cause many patients to stop seeking treatment, or to have a bias against physicians. These areas can be corrected with proper research and awareness, which is what I have involved myself in.
