My inspiration refused to strike until years later; however, it slightly began with my aunt’s fearsome battle against cervical and lymphatic cancer. Everything I have overcome has inspired me to become a doctor, so I can heal others; more specifically, watching others experiencing overcome similar obstacles encouraged me to become a surgical oncologist. I applied to the Academy of Science and Health Professions during junior high, already containing a generalized idea of what I wanted to do.
