ToMyReaders
Doesmydraftfloweasilywhenchangingthoughtsortopics?
-Yes it does.
-I think it flowed well and it really gave a sense of who you are/will be.
-It flows great. I have nothing to complain about.
WhatotherwayscanIthinkaboutmyfuturethatIhaventusedinmydraft?
-Maybe be more specific about which medical school you want to get in. Did you have one in
mind? How you are going to give your love when you physically become older. Are there any
specific plans? Are you going to put an organization to help needed people or anything like that?
-Do you know a medical school you plan to attend? Is getting married a possibility in your next
5years?
-You briefly mentioned your family in the essay. I would suggest that if you want to include
more details about your future, include more information about how your family members will
play a role in your five year plan. Will they help you get through any struggles? Or will it be you
that helps them when you are studying to become a surgeon.
Whatdetailswereyouinterestedinlearningbutdidntget?
-You did not include getting married and having kids in your 5-year plan. Is it because you want
totally focus on your future career, your friends and family?
-Is surgery the only medical field youre interested in? Are you a speed runner or distance?
-The only thing I would like to know more about is what role your family will play in your
future. I know that my family will have plenty of influence in my life over the next few years,
what about your family?

HowcanIaddtomymeaningparagraph?
-Your paper was good and I believe you will achieve a great career as a surgeon if you keep the
mindset that you have. Running and keeping the blood flow will only enrich your way of
thinking. Positive companions and family will give you the support you deserve to achieve life
long goals.
-I think it is pretty solid and to the point, you could drag out something you would do in the
community, aside for being a doctor(charity). Maybe talk about the things youll do for your
family 5 years down the road to give you meaning.
-I really like how you include your religious principles in your meaning paragraph. With this,
you talk about how God put you on Earth to help others as a strong meaning for your plan. To
add more, you should give a meaning of self-importance as well. What will you do in the next
five years that will benefit you rather than just others?
