I will major in biology and minor in music while in college. I would like to be an anesthesiologist and invest music back into the community by helping inner-city schools with their music programs.Throughout my adolescence I have been deeply involved with music and credit that to my success thus far. As a child, I was in and out of hospitals due to illness, ever since then I have been interested in the medical field and how they help people. I have always enjoyed helping those in need in order to do my part to assist in helping the community become a better place. I have noticed the severe lack of African - American doctors and wanted to change that by becoming one myself. I will attend Indiana University, a school well known for both music and medicine, in order to be able to pursue both of my goals.

Without the help and encouragement from my community I would not be the same person today. That is why I try my best to partake in community service whenever I have the opportunity. I have volunteered my labor, time, or musical abilities for many organizations to help better the community. I have volunteered at Gleaners Food bank, Indy Urban Acres, St. John 's Baptist Church, Eastern Star Church, Mozel Sanders food drive foundation, Lutherwood Child Services and in the Broad Ripple community. When I worked as a caterer, I took the extra food, that would have otherwise been thrown away and gave it to homeless people on my way home. I see their struggle and wish to help in any way I can. In order to do that, it would be a blessing to have one less concern on my plate, that being my financial

    During my childhood, I spent an unusual amount of time at construction pads for various reasons, such as friends building new homes and my family looking at new neighborhoods. My father used our time at one of these pads to tie together a lesson. He, in his kind voice, recited First Corinthians 3:11 “For no one can lay any foundation other than the one already laid, which is Jesus Christ.” He went on to tell me how foundations determine the grandness of the structure to come; whether that be physical, spiritual or educational. One day I would like to follow in my father’s footsteps and be a part of the medical community, but to do so I need a well laid foundation to build my medical education upon.…

    Attending a school that emphasizes diversity like the University of California, Los Angeles allowed me to interact with dissimilar people and immerse myself in many cultures different from my own. Through conversations outside of class and attending multiple culture nights, I was able to experience some of the customs, values, and beliefs of other cultures I had never been previously exposed to. However, most of my understanding has come from my service in Dr. Amy Waterman’s lab at the UCLA Transplant Research and Education Center. The research lab aims to reduce racial disparities in transplant. An example of our discoveries during research was results showing that minorities, especially African Americans, are less likely to pursue living…
