Describe your career goals. Everyone has a dream career that they wish to pursue. Your personal statement should include your specific career goals. It shows that you are able to organize your thoughts, set goals and take the steps necessary to achieve your goals. Try not to be too general in sharing your goals. For example, if you want to be a pediatrician or a thoracic surgeon, then say this. Don’t just say you want to be a doctor. You’ll also want to share the reasons you’ve set this career goal. If your work with children during a summer camp program that caters to children with epilepsy made you realize that you want to help treat children then say this. Whatever your reasons, make sure that you share this in your personal statement when addressing your career goals.
