interested to study about health care service which is required for individual to live happy and
prosperous. From the very beginning, I am attracted towards health and social care services.
When I was child, I saw many people died due to lack of health care service which influenced
me to become specialist in health service. I like to talk to people regarding their health issues
which are faced by them and provide them best treatment as well as services so that they can
recover their health and body properly for living happy life. I am also interested in knowing
about how actual human functions work and other factors related with body care so I chose this
field. The health and social care taker has bright and successful career which leads to earn high
profits and provide second life to people. This has helped me to develop myself along with
various skills such as problem solving, communication, leadership and so on which is actually
required in each and every field. The main purpose is to provide better treatment to those people
who cannot afford health care services and treat them well so that they can recover themselves
and live happy life. Along with it, I will establish one health care clinic for providing all types of
treatment to poor people and cure them in best possible manner at free cost so that they will
