    The beginning of my undergraduate career is not impressive and not worthy of holding the title of a PA. A student’s GPA is important in order to be accepted into a medical school or any other healthcare professional school, I was well aware of that, but I did not hold the maturity to excel in my academia.

It soon became evident of my success in throughout the rest of my undergraduate years.…

    Even when I was young, I knew that I wanted to go into a career that would help people overcome any challenges they may face. However, it wasn't until my junior year AP Psychology class when I discovered a career possibility of neuroscience. The class was required to research psychology-related careers, and that is where I delved into a deep hole of neuropsychology discoveries, education requirements, responsibilities, etc. This research showed me that I truly love neuropsychology and how they can help people overcome their personal struggles, whether mental or physical.…
