Decent Essays
My goal for my future is to become a pediatric surgeon. One day, my dedication and hard work will lead me in the direction of saving the lives of tiny humans. Growing up with a sister who is a Paramedic and a mother who is a Nurse, I have learned that pediatrics is a foreign conversation.

Dealing with children who are sick and scared will be physically and mentally taxing. Being a surgeon will give me the opportunity to improve the health and wellness of my patients, and in post-operative care, I will provoke a healing regimen that will improve the wellness of my patients. I am a hardworking and driven individual that will continue

My family consists of mother, father, and brother who live in Germany. Growing up was as idyllic as one could suspect, in my prepubescent years we moved to the states in search of “gods’ plan” for us, starting a church in Texas.
