You need to be take good care of yourself so that you will be physically healthy and prepared to focus on the surgical procedures. You will be required to stand for long periods of time, especially during residency training. You will need to be able to stay calm during emergencies and think quickly on your feet. You will need to continue to perfect your surgical skills throughout your career and not be impatient.

Take note of the fact that you seem to be moving something, that involves taking more responsibility than a nurse. Having experienced, bieng a surgeon for exactly seven days, realised that it involved a feeling of utmost dedication and discipline. Remember my patients till this time, and believe that there is a a certain degree of allegiance towards the construct of a patient, that was instilled in me, during my time in Dibrugarh, Assam.

Strengths: Intelligent, able to read and study for long periods of time, hand-eye-coordination, compassion
Experiences: In the US, to apply to medical school, you need a bachelor's degree. Any 4-year university should suffice. Pick a major that interests you so you don't mind devoting a majority of your hours to studying. You will need to get good grades in college in order to apply for medical school. At the medical school I attended, the average GPA is reported to be 3.85, so even one or two B's can hurt your chances of acceptance.
Try to find opportunities to pursue research. Volunteer at your local hospital or low-income clinic. Ask physicians, PAs or other clinical providers if you can shadow them.
