"Ouch, doctor! I hurt my leg!" I heard this many times with my siblings when we would play doctor together around the house. I did not have a real doctor 's jacket, but my buttoned-down white sweater always made me feel like I was a real doctor.

After a year of ups and downs filled with rewards and regrets, it was time to give something back to the community.

After arriving at dawn, we divided into groups and set about exploring the villages on foot. We held signs, persuaded people to accept handouts, and attempted to…

While I attended catholic school our congregation placed a heavy emphasis on missionary work and social service, and growing up I felt very connected to that experience. I was exposed to Medicine as a profession early on in my life, as many of my family members are physicians. I became even more interested in medicine as a teenager when my father became critically ill; I wanted…
