Pediatrics

After attending a community college and transferring to University of California Riverside my goals are steadily appearing closer within grasp. However, the steps I need to take in order to get into medical school have, to this point, escaped me.

Children develop drastically from birth to the age of three. Transforming from completely dependent upon others to comprehending what it takes to obtain all of their needs.

spending holidays from school in a clinic. However, the long hours of standing was something I dreaded. Overtime, I found shadowing for eight hours a day to be a breeze. What made my shadowing experience so exciting was the joy of interacting with pediatric and geriatric patients. I remember my first experience working with children was teaching at Noah’s Ark Daycare Center. The most challenging task was getting everyone to sit on the carpet and actively listen to instructions. I over came these…

World renowned author Paulo Coelho once said, “The world is changed by your example, not your opinion”. Like Coelho stated, it’s not out of the ordinary for people to want to infuse their lives with meaning — to try to somehow leave the world a better place than they found it. It is human nature to want to create some sort of legacy—to not just do good deeds, but also know that they truly made a difference. What better legacy is there than dedicating your life to save those of others? The career…

I was never particularly prone to illness but yearly checkups made the doctor’s office a somewhat familiar place. I found the pediatric office comforting in many ways. I loved getting to see the doctor, finding out my weight, height, and answering questions about my lifestyle. Every time I went for a cold or a rash, I always got better. It was a place where things would get fixed…
