In this blog post, I will outline my motivation for choosing medicine, my academic plan, my goals after graduation, and my values.

Motivation for Pursuing Medicine (Reasons for Choosing This Major)

When I was in middle school, I was hospitalized following a traffic accident. During my stay, I closely observed the relationship between doctors and patients, which led me to develop a deep admiration for the medical profession. After being discharged in good health, I resolved to become a doctor who practices medicine at the highest level. I aspire to become a doctor who respects patients as individuals and acts with integrity and a strong sense of responsibility, and I wish to begin pursuing that dream at your university.
I believe that being a doctor begins with genuine “humanity.” I believe that only by becoming a “culturally refined person” and a “well-rounded individual” through diverse education can one practice true medicine. I wish to receive your university’s “True Education” and become a genuine medical professional. While medicine is undoubtedly a difficult discipline to master, it is certainly possible to learn it. I believe the challenge lies not in learning, but in putting that knowledge into practice. If admitted to your university, I aspire to become a medical professional who puts what I learn into practice.

Academic Plan and Goals

First, upon admission to your university, I will diligently study the courses required for basic medical competence and the foundational disciplines of medicine. I will study a wide range of topics, including the treatment and prevention of various diseases, and build the most fundamental knowledge and general education required to become a physician.
In addition to my major studies, I plan to study English diligently, as it is essential for my field of study. I also intend to actively participate in study groups as part of my extracurricular activities. By working together with upperclassmen and peers on studies that would be difficult to tackle alone, I hope to study more efficiently and build a broad and diverse network of relationships.
I have heard that your department fosters diverse specializations through a convergent and interdisciplinary education that transcends the boundaries of specific fields. The fact that your university provides students with annual opportunities for overseas clinical internships through international exchange agreements with countries such as Germany and the United States was another key factor in my decision to apply. I hope to fully experience the vast world of medicine while studying at prestigious overseas universities that have sister-school agreements with your institution. With firm determination and a diligent attitude, I will do my very best to achieve my goals.

Plans After Graduation

Based on a broad understanding of humanity and society, as well as a spirit of service, I aspire to become a physician who can efficiently contribute to promoting the health of the local community. I possess the strong will and perseverance needed to turn my dreams into reality. Under the guidance of your outstanding faculty and with the advice of senior students, I aim to grow into an excellent physician. In particular, I aspire to become a pediatrician who heals sick children.
My dream is to become a leader in pediatrics and have my research findings and surgical techniques recognized at international academic conferences. I want to live as a true healer—not one who uses medicine merely as a means to make money by flaunting an elite academic background, but one who practices medicine with a genuine love for sick children.
I believe that doctors, more than anyone else, must possess sound judgment. I often reflect on how, as a practitioner of medicine, one must possess a clear conscience, compassion for patients, and a strong sense of mission. In the future, I hope to be remembered by many patients not just as a doctor who practices medicine, but as one who practices the art of healing with compassion.

Self-Introduction (Outlook on Life, Values)

On my desk, a motto with faded calligraphy reading “Do your best, and leave the rest to Heaven” is still firmly affixed. It represents the attitude of always doing one’s best in the tasks entrusted to one, and then leaving the rest to heaven. In fact, when I entered high school, I sometimes wasted time without a clear purpose or effort toward any specific goal.
However, I came to realize once again that “if I do not do my best in the position I am in, I will not grow,” and, reflecting on the proverb “Do your best and leave the rest to heaven,” I studied diligently. Thanks to these efforts, I was able to maintain my position as the top student in the entire school even while serving as student body president.
Only now do I believe in the truth that if I do my best in everything, I will eventually reap the rewards, and I feel a deep sense of fulfillment from faithfully fulfilling the roles entrusted to me. I pledge to myself that, for as long as I live, I will devote my unwavering effort and passion to everything I am capable of doing.
