please help!!! i need help brainstorming for an essay about myself for my med school application?

I am writing about my best friend’s disease and how it has inspired me to pursue medicine. There is more before this but obviously I can’t fit it all, so here is where I am stuck….

“It was while accompanying him on one of these visits that I was exposed to a world that I had never known. Children’s hospital was filled with unfortunate people and I had the opportunity to meet a variety of them. Though I thought nothing could be worse than my best friend’s disease, brain cancer at the age of seven easily topped it.

The gap between my experience with my best friend and now has allowed a new part of me to grow. Through awareness of disease I am allowed to live with a deeper appreciation for life.”

I can’t figure out where to go with this!!! Please any suggestions would be awesome!

The fields of medicine, both clinical and research, seem to be the best way for me to show I care. I am particularly interested in (name your field of interest) because it conjoins my experiences with my friend and my interests. Try that. Tell ’em what interests you and how you’ve prepared to enter medicine as an active, productive member of the medical profession.
