On Friday, March 30, 2012, I was staying the night at my great-aunt and uncle`s house. We got a call my other great-aunt Linda Kay had a heart attack and would have surgery the next morning. Luckily, I got the chance to talk to her. we were joking on the phone just having a good time but at the end of that call, I knew something was wrong because she said, “I love you to brat”, which she never said to me. Little did I know that would be the last time I would hear her voice. The next morning, my family and I prayed the doctors would be able to fix her.

Some family members don’t even acknowledge other members when seen in public or even at all. Due to the emotions, I was left with I have decided to become a doctor. I want to be able to save families from the pain my family went through. I also want to try to prevent anything else like this from happening. I plan on doing that by having the medical knowledge to say “yeah, they messed up or they did everything they could”. Over the years I have been able to channel the sadness and anger of her death into the drive I needed for me to get better grades, actually, try at school, and get better at basketball. I have done this to the point I went from a C-B student to an A-B student and from the bench for 3 years to the starter. Many don’t know that her death is the reason I am so calm and collected in sad and hard
