I want to become a doctor because I have a deep desire to help others and make a positive impact on their lives. Medicine is a field that allows me to do this in a meaningful and impactful way.
As a child, I was always fascinated by science and how the human body works. I would spend hours reading about different diseases and conditions, and I always had a strong curiosity about how doctors were able to diagnose and treat these issues. As I grew older, this fascination only deepened, and I knew that I wanted to pursue a career in the medical field.
But it wasn't just my love of science that led me to this decision. I have always been a compassionate and empathetic person, and I feel a strong sense of responsibility to use my skills and abilities to help others. I believe that being a doctor is the perfect way for me to do this.
In order to become a doctor, I know that I will need to work hard and commit to many years of education and training. I am prepared for this challenge, and I am confident that with hard work and dedication, I can achieve my dream of becoming a physician.
I am excited to enter this rewarding and challenging field, and I am eager to make a difference in the lives of my patients. Becoming a doctor will allow me to use my knowledge and skills to improve the health and well-being of others, and that is a truly rewarding and fulfilling career path for me.

The do-nothings and the æsthetes, the dandies and the dilettantes, have none of it, perhaps, but it is strong among the men who are doing the work of the world and fighting the battles of humanity. The first edition of Hunting Trips of a Ranchman, known as The Medora Edition, was limited to 500 copies. After bloody fighting and protracted campaigns they were defeated, and the country thrown open to the whites, while the building of the Northern Pacific Railroad gave immigration an immense impetus. At first the stock-raising was all done in Texas, and the beef-steers, when ready for sale, were annually driven north along what became a regular cattle trail. I have had a history crush on him for quite some time but had not read any of his histories or guidebooks yet. Hunting Trips of a Ranchman The charm of ranch life comes in its freedom, and the vigorous, open-air existence it forces a man to lead.

Hunting trips of a ranchman ; Hunting trips on the prairie and in the mountains : Roosevelt, Theodore, 1858
A small pack is usually carried behind it; also saddle pockets, or small saddle-bags; and there are leather strings wherewith to fasten the loops of the raw-hide lariat. He gives us a great deal of information in an easy, rather desultory fashion, but, he is never tedious. Complete with four India-proof impressions of etchings by R.

Hunting trips of a ranchman; : Roosevelt, Theodore, 1858
He died in 1919. Farms will soon cover the regions where their cattle now wander at will, and they and all pertaining to them will become things of the past. Around it are grouped the other buildings--log-stables, cow-sheds, and hay-ricks, an out-house in which to store things, and on large ranches another house in which the cowboys sleep. Teddy begins the book by describing the culture of his ranchmen and then parcels out the rest of the book amongst different game: Waterfowl, prairie chicken, white tail, and black tail mule deer. Throughout this great belt of grazing land almost the only industry is stock-raising, which is here engaged in on a really gigantic scale; and it is already nearly covered with the ranches of the stockmen, except on those isolated tracts often themselves of great extent from which the red men look hopelessly and sullenly out upon their old hunting-grounds, now roamed over by the countless herds of long-horned cattle.

Hunting Trips of a Ranchman by Theodore Roosevelt
Great spurs and a large-calibre revolver complete the costume. Sinewy, hardy, self-reliant, their life forces them to be both daring and adventurous, and the passing over their heads of a few years leaves printed on their faces certain lines which tell of dangers quietly fronted and hardships uncomplainingly endured. Do I care for hunting? This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it. We demand something more than this. When the Civil War was raging, there were hundreds of thousands of bony, half wild steers and cows in Texas, whose value had hitherto been very slight; but toward the middle of the struggle they became a most important source of food supply to both armies, and when the war had ended, the profits of the business were widely known and many men had gone into it. They were their only remaining great hunting-grounds, and towards the end of the last decade all of the northern plains tribes went on the war-path in a final desperate effort to preserve them. The northern cattle plains occupy the basin of the Upper Missouri; that is, they occupy all of the land drained by the tributaries of that river, and by the river itself, before it takes its long trend to the southeast.

In 1912 he made a bid for reelection on the progressive Bull Moose ticket but lost to Woodrow Wilson, who became a bitter enemy.

Hunting Trips Of A Ranchman
. He seems to the uninitiated a sufficiently good shot, but one thing is certain: a man who can hit his first grizzly squarely between the eyes at ten paces has an unusually large amount of nerve. Cattle-raising on the plains, as now carried on, started in Texas, where the Americans had learned it from the Mexicans whom they dispossessed. He was the second of four children of Theodore Roosevelt, Sr. My own foremen were originally eastern backwoodsmen. Yet some of the best sections are those in which Roosevelt muses on the beauty of the Bad Lands and the simple pleasures of ranch life. The cowboys form a class by themselves, and are now quite as typical representatives of the wilder side of Western life, as were a few years ago the skin-clad hunters and trappers.
