"A talent I have that will complement my job as a surgeon is playing the violin. I have played since I was three and picked it up quite easily. I would spend hours a day perfecting solo pieces, highlighting my dedication to a craft. I also enjoy the violin because it helps me clear my head and focus strictly on the piece I am playing. It enhances my dexterity, hand strength, hand-eye coordination, and fine motor skills. I feel this talent will complement my career as a surgeon."
