My dream of studying medicine is not a volatile one based on rumours of the

fulfilling life of a medic, but rather based on research, an understanding of the

profession and close-up experience. My interest in medicine began when
studying biology and chemistry at secondary school and since then I have
focused my everyday life around seeking medical knowledge.
Being able to participate in Debate Chambers Medicine summer school would
consequently be a great privilege and honour in helping me to take a step
towards satisfying my ambition and indulging my passion for medicine. The
course offers an implausible and rare insight into medicine and it would be an
honour to be given the means to really widen my knowledge and develop skills I
would otherwise not have come across.
However, coming from a relatively poor background, and being the first
generation in my family to attend university make my pursuit all the more
difficult, yet I am adamant that this will not stand in my way. This wonderful
opportunity is a supreme example of endless chances which spoil my desire to
pursue knowledge wherever it can be found, and despite not being able, in any
way, to afford the fee, as both my parents are pensioners with insufficient
income to cover the cost, I remain positive and optimistic that this bursary will
give me the means to take one step towards being able to fulfil my ambition,
with the acknowledgement of this course taking a central role in allowing me to
persevere on the road towards this challenging but immensely rewarding goal.
