Seeking
Support to Pursue a Career in Medicine
My name is
Cleon Bovell. I am the first of three children and was born on the 11th
November, 1998 in Linden, Guyana. I did my Primary education in Linden at the
Watooka Day Primary School. After writing the National Grade Six Assessment
(NGSA) in 2010, I was awarded a place at St. Stanislaus College (SSC). My
studies at SSC were completed in July 2017 after seven memorable years with
the distinction of being the first CAPE student from SSC to have obtained 10
Grade I’s in the Science subjects. The table below shows all of my CSEC and
CAPE grades.
I am extremely proud of my achievements
and am hoping that I would be considered for the award of a scholarship which
would allow me to realise my dreams of pursuing medical studies to become a
Cardiothoracic Surgeon.
I have so far enrolled to do first year
Biology at the University of Guyana and am hoping to obtain a transfer to their
medical program at the earliest opportunity.
In addition to achieving good grades, I
enjoyed being involved in other extra-curricular activities which included
cricket and athletics, as well as participation in club related activities such
as those concerned particularly with science and the environment. This has made
me to be a well rounded individual and led to my appointment as Head Prefect of
the College prior to my graduation.
My main ambition is to become a
Cardiothoracic Surgeon and to be one of the best in this field. It is my
intention and firm commitment to return to Guyana upon graduation and later
specialisation to assist in enhancing our medical capabilities locally.
It is my dream that after building my
reputation to being among the best cardiothoracic surgeons in this part of the
world, most of the Caribbean citizens would then prefer to travel to Guyana for
treatment rather than travelling to the developed world where they would incur
far greater cost.
My vision of giving back to my country
is to establish a speciality research and teaching hospital through which I can
offer my services internationally. As Guyana’s energy resources allows it to
take greater advantage of the Digital Revolution, I am convinced that I can
both serve my country at the local level while fully participating
internationally in the latest research developments.
