Assignment 22 - Peter Marino

I have always wanted to be a surgeon. When I was three years old, I was prescribed glasses. This made me want to be an eye surgeon. I also had people who inspired me as well. My uncle is an eye surgeon, and ever since I was little I watched him perform Lasik surgery. My dad’s best friend is an eye surgeon as well, and he has been my eye doctor since I was three. I am not set on being an eye surgeon anymore, but I still intend to be a surgeon. I have always been interested in anatomy and the human structure and form, and that is why I have always excelled in biology class and anatomy. To obtain their degrees, both my uncle and my eye doctor attended the Univerity of Kentucky. This is also where I intend to go to school. It would be nice to live in another part of the country for a while, but I would rather have less debt when I left. I have visited several colleges and UK seems like a good fit for me. I am inspired to study anatomy and physiology, and hopefully, this path leads me to become a surgeon one day.
