Neonatology

The field that I aspire to go into is Neonatology. Here, specialized pediatricians deal with newborn and premature babies. They make the final diagnosis and help monitor the baby’s health. Neonatologists are responsible for everything related to the newborn baby- cardiac care, skin care, deficiencies, mental problems, and more. To me, it is a wonderful job because I love working in the medical environment ( I currently volunteer at a hospital) and I love new born babies. They are so beautiful, fragile, perfect, and innocent; most people (if not all) would agree that infants are precious and adorable!

When I tell people about the requirements of being a neonatologist, people always ask me why I chose that field. They always tell me it is sad to work in that field, seeing small premature infants, frequent deaths, wires connected all over, and more. To me, I see life in its most beautiful form. If I was a neonatologist, it would be my honor to help  the infants become stronger and healthier; everyone gets a fair chance to live and experience the amazing world we live in today. Yes, I understand that challenges and emotional hardship come my way in this field, but in the big scheme of things, I could say I saved a child. I saved children who would one day become CEOs of companies, world leaders, musicians, teachers, and more. That alone is fulfilling and is worth my time and energy to become a neonatologist.
