The NTPGA is where kids are given the opportunity to play in golf tournament throughout northern Texas, and it just happen that Dr. Gregory son playing in the same league as me.

The class was just really motivating and Dr. Gregory was a great person to be teaching that class. He is the type of person that has no tunnel vision at all. Dr. Gregory thinks about life in a different perspective then the average human does. I personal could relate to him as well. I like all the crazy stories he told in class, it just amazed me how odd of a person he was. My favorite story he told was when a kid in the calls asked about, how do you know when you are in love? Then Dr. Gregory tells us that when he was engaged to his wife and they had got in a fight. She then ran him over with the car and he still wanted to marry her. It was just insane how many funny, crazy, and exciting stories he had to tell. When it was time to pick classes for spring 2016, Marta told me to take Composition and Reading at 10:30 and I did, just to find out the Dr. Gregory was going to be my professor. I could not be happier, I was so excited to have him as my professor again. I heard nothing but great things about his

Towards the end of my junior year in high school a special program was announced to the students. “Doc Prep” was a weeklong trip to Baylor College of Medicine that gave ten students the opportunity to witness heart surgeries, practice suturing, handle human brains, and meet many interesting people. Who wouldn’t want to be part of this enriching experience?…

    I have seen more doctors than I can count on my fingers due to my asthma acting up every now and then and at times with bad allergic reactions. However there was one doctor that has always been there for my parents and I. He of course may not be world famous yet, but to me he is the best I have ever met.

Christians everywhere who are doing nothing to love and help the pained individuals surrounding them, while doing everything to promote prosperity in their own lives.

    Most little girls dream of being a ballerina when they grow up, I was the little girl who dreamed of medical school. Anyone who was brave enough to ask got my vehement no when asked if I thought that the college, subsequent medical school, and training would be too much school or that I would get bored. I decided very early that to be a doctor was one of the most exciting things that a person could chose to be and my fantastic pediatrician was the initial spark for this love of medicine. The care that I could see him exhibit in his daily operations as well as the ease at which he interacted with patients and parents alike inspired me. His knowledge was fascinating and I longed to have that level of understanding of the human body.…

Such as your what if your mom conceived you not on the knowing basis. What if everyone was telling her not to because she was to be a single mom and that’s not a world a child should be born into, but then what if she challenged this belief that she grew up with. This then in turn affected all her choices later in life, but then vice versa what if she didn't challenge this belief and stuck with what she knew. This may be of the more extreme choices in life that some people must make but we all have that certain time in our life that comes where we must break away and make…

However, foster had not even been near the forefront of my mind that summer. The summer before I started my first year of high school, I had plenty of anxiety about the tall tale I invented in my own mind that stood before me. Stories about how hard high school were numerous and often regaled on the crowded bus ride home by high schoolers who seemed to have the knowledge of every wise teacher in history combined. which that scared me to death; I had always held my position as a good student who followed the rules of my middle school.…
