Cristina vs. Sarah

When I was given an essay to compare myself to a character, the first person to come to mind was Cristina Yang. She is a character from the ABC TV series, "Grey's Anatomy." Cristina Yang is an aggressive, out spoken, competitive woman who strives for the medical field. when Cristina Yang and I are compared to each other, a lot of similarities are shown between us including our ambition in life.

Cristina Yang and I have very much in common when you look at our way of life. I was raised Christian throughout my life, growing up though I started learning and believing more in science. Cristina Yang is a strong Atheist, as I am too. Religion is such a big comparison in life because it influences your way of life, and the way you think. Growing up, religion was not something that was stressed to me, turning a belief in faith, into a belief in science. I think this is the reason that led my character and I into the medical field. The way each of us strive for working in a hospital is why I chose Cristina Yang as my character to compare myself to. As seen on the show, she is a talented and competitive woman at her work, which is exactly the way I am going to be when I get to where she is. Being in the medical field and believing in science is our ambition in life, which are two things that are extremely important to me.
