My interest in medicine has been long standing. Studying a degree in a subject that holds great passion to my heart will give me a sound footing for my future ambition to carry out voluntary work in Africa.
My performance in both my academic and work pursuits has always been excellent. Having just reached thirty-six, I believe I am ready to take on the challenge. Following my application last year and not getting a place proved a disappointing time in my life. To me, failure is never an option and although I had this setback was not going to give up my lifelong dream. More importantly, the experience showed me that I needed to work harder if I wanted to fulfil my dream of becoming a doctor.
