Growing up, I was always surrounded by inspiring well-rounded people. My introduction into medicine came at an early age. My entire family line, including my parents, are all nurses and doctors.

I managed to find my purpose in every class and take advantage of the opportunities each had to offer. AP Biology and AP Physics were the classes that interested me the most. Somehow Mendel’s laws about genetics, the cellular processes of the biological systems, and conservation laws attracted me. I may not have been perfect in every single one of those classes, but I pushed myself to the best of my ability. I enjoyed stepping out of my comfort zone and challenging myself. The sacrifices I have made to make good grades has taught me the discipline and the priorities I should focus on.
