Purpose Statement
When I was a child, there was a sad time in my life when my grandfather died. Of course,
we lived in a small mountainous town in eastern part of Afghanistan where there was little or no
access to the doctor or a hospital. My grandfather had a heart attack and nobody knew what to
do; otherwise, he would’ve survived with a simple CPR and had lived the rest of his life since he
was only about fifty-five years old. He was the sweetest, wisest, and nicest human being one
could ever meet. I was so very sad. This event changed my life forever and motivated me to
work persistently in school and become someone that could help people in the time of need; that
is why I am pursuing my major to become a Physician Assistant. This persistence, perseverance,
and working hard mentality made me who I am today, a university graduate. Although, it was
not easy, I had my struggles and obstacles; but I did not give up. I am fortunate to have my
bachelor’s degree; however, I am not satisfied, I want to become something greater and continue
my education to master it and hopefully contribute in something amazing. I believe that the
power of mind is limitless and it is up to us to reach its potential.
