Rather than go into one of the medical areas being practiced by my family member, I wanted to strike out in a different direction. It knew it was important that I choose an area that would be continually growing and becoming more advanced. I like facing new challenges and being involved with decision-making situations.

More important, I wished to become involved in a field of healthcare that could help people in a natural way. Too often, traditional medical doctors quickly give their patients medicine prescriptions to cure their problems. Many do not look at the larger overall picture, only one piece of the puzzle. Helping a patient in a holistic manner is essential to their continued well-being. I want to do much more than put a bandage, or a short-term treatment. Rather, I want to find the actual cause of the problem and cure it. If that is not possible, then at least provide the right treatment that can greatly reduce any pain.

My grandfather in Pakistan passed away in 2005 because of knee and back problems, since the Pakistani doctors do not have the Chiropractic tools and experience needed to help people in this way. I hope one day to go back to Pakistan and practice. I was not able to help my grandfather, but I can put my personal efforts toward helping to cure and save others. I will gain the knowledge and experience needed at the long-established Texas Chiropractic College, which is well-known for its high-quality graduates, and become a thoroughly trained Doctor of Chiropractic. I want to be a Chiropractor because these professionals believe in the natural way for the mind, body, and soul to heal. They do not want to only eliminate the problem, but rather the actual cause of the problem. In this way, I can help my patients improve their lives physically and emotionally in the natural way.
