"I have several meaningful experiences that come to mind when asked this question. However, one of my most meaningful is the reason I chose to pursue a career in medicine. I was 16 years old and working as a server at a restaurant when one of my customers went into labor. She said it was her fourth pregnancy, and she could feel the baby coming. My coworker called 911 while I assisted my customer out of her booth and onto the ground. I had taken a first aid and CPR class before but had never been taught how to assist with childbirth. My customer talked me through what was happening and asked me to help when the baby came out so it didn't come out too fast. Before the ambulance arrived, the baby was delivered, and I wrapped the infant in a clean towel to keep her warm. The mother told me to rub the baby's back so she would start breathing, which I did. The baby started crying, and it was the most amazing sound I had ever heard. I was scared but excited at the same time. A few days later, my customer came into the restaurant with her baby and said she named her after me. While helping with the delivery was incredible, having the baby named after me was certainly unexpected and immensely flattering."
