To become a doctor in this time period is difficult, and especially for Hispanic women. For some reason, being Hispanic means I have to work extra for people to trust me, respect me, or honor me.
The doctor I want to become is an obstetrician and gynecologist (OB-GYN), which is a doctor for pregnant women. These types of doctors most likely have their own little office away from the hospital, but still work in a hospital when it is time for the women to give birth.
To be an OB-GYN, I will attend more college and four years of being in a residency program. Currently I am in Lone Star College for two years for my associate’s degree, but transferring to Texas State University to finish my last two years of basics. Then, I'm planning to go to Stanford University for medical school.
I chose this career because it something that I have in a way passion for mostly for the part of being able to see a human being grow and come into this world. By doing this, I can be financially stable and live a better life for my future kids, family, and me. I hope to give them more opportunities than what my parents gave me.
Also by choosing this career, I can help people from my community. I can help them by having some dates of the month for a free clinic visit where community members can get a monthly check up for free, with my help. Also I can at teach schools and show students more about health, or become a pregnancy counselor at schools.
