Below I had attached a bit about myself. You do not necessarily have to add all this but this is just a background. I need this personal statement to be very captivating and also very authentic. Also it does not have to be like grammartlly correct, it could be told as a story however it needs to be unique! be as creative as you can. 
The question if you need it is:
Write a statement expressing your motivation and desire to become a physician assistant. Keep statement general as it is shared with all programs. Don’t exceed 5,000 characters. 
As a first-generation, bilingual college student from a single-parent, low-income household, my personal journey has profoundly shaped my aspiration to become a Physician Assistant (PA). The unique challenges of my upbringing, particularly the financial struggles due to my mother’s undocumented status and the absence of my father, have instilled a deep understanding of the socio-economic barriers that many face in accessing healthcare.
Our family’s interaction with a compassionate PA during my brother’s birth was transformative. This PA did more than provide medical care; she educated us about essential nutrition and connected us to crucial support programs like DV shelters, WIC, rental assistance, and the scope of our Medicaid coverage. Her holistic approach not only alleviated the immense burden on my mother but also highlighted the pivotal role PAs can play in addressing both health and socio-economic needs.
This experience has driven me to pursue a career where I can advocate for preemptive care and ensure that all populations have access to comprehensive medical resources and community services. My goal is to emulate the dedication I witnessed by pushing the boundaries of patient education and enabling individuals to proactively manage their health concerns. By integrating my background and bilingual skills, I aim to enhance the inclusivity and accessibility of healthcare, ensuring that those at and below the poverty line receive both the medical attention and socio-economic support they critically need.

Analyze Public Healthcare Policies and Federal and State Laws
The learner analyzes public healthcare policies, federal and state laws, and the resulting impact to patients and healthcare delivery.
INTRODUCTION
Policies in healthcare have an impact on individuals, whether at the institutional, local, state, or federal level. As a profession, nursing has the opportunity to influence health policies on all levels.  By understanding healthcare policies, nurses can be advocates for patients as a unified group.
Although the majority of healthcare professionals are nurses, nursing has many opportunities to increase their involvement in healthcare policy. Healthcare and nursing practice are influenced   by policy. Policy affects care delivery, patient preferences, and reimbursement. Nurses are in a       unique position to influence policy due to the holistic care model and patient-centered care.
For this task, you will analyze a federal and state policy that relates to a current area of focus in healthcare. You will discuss how the federal and state policies influence patient and healthcare delivery. You will consider the population impact of the policies and if the policies are equitable at  both the federal and state level.
Your goal in this task is to discuss how a nurse can impact policy at the state and federal level.    You should consider the role of the nurse in the development of policy at the state and federal      level and how the nurse will support or influence improvements to the policy at each policy level.
REQUIREMENTS

Part 1: Defining the Health Problem
In Week 1, your task is to
identify a public health issue in a locale of your choice based on an analysis
of public health data for the demographic area. Based on your research, you
will conceive of a program at the local hospital, health system, or clinic to improve
health outcomes for the population.
Use this project template to
complete the requirements for Part 1 of your Capstone Project, detailed as
follows:
1.     Use
the data to identify 2 endemic health issues among populations in the county.
Your project will focus on only 1 of the issues, but you will need to identify
a second issue if your first choice is determined to be unfeasible for this
project. Your instructor will assist you in making that determination. Since
county-level health data in most states is more detailed than city-level data,
it is recommended that you choose a county, rather than a city. You can locate
health data from the following sources:
·      
County
Health Rankings
·      
National
Center for Health Statistics
·      
County Health Department websites
·      
State health department
2.     Describe the conditions and the extent
of these health problems and why you feel they warrant a program or service to
address their impact on the population. Support the results of your
analysis using charts or graphs that include demographic, morbidity, and
mortality data.
3.    
Provide and analyze demographic information on the county
population including age, gender, income, employment and other relevant
information for your program.
4.     Summarize
the health issue you want to work on and explain your idea for a program to
accomplish this objective.
