About (Summary)

Ever since I opened my first medical book when I was four, I knew I wanted to become a doctor. Growing up with parents who were highly dedicated to the medical field, I was enthralled with science, especially the human body. Along with that, I knew that doctors did great and amazing acts around the world, and I only dreamed of becoming one of them. Now, I am on the path of well becoming one. Throughout my high school, I focused on getting stellar grades and attending as many medical conferences as I could to see if I truly had a passion for medicine, and I found that I did. I then entered college. As I had a passion of the sciences like my mother, I chose Biochemistry as my major. I am currently working on my second year as a college student, working on getting my bachelor's degree and aiming to enter medical school. From medical school, I would like to join the Air Force so I could travel, and, most importantly, use my knowledge and abilities to serve my country and many around the world.

Hobbies

I have a deep interest in the arts: I love reading all genres of books, especially having a weak spot for classical literature. Favorite book at the moment is Les Miserables by Victor Hugo. I enjoy playing the piano and have studied music ever since I was a child, Clementi being my favorite composer. For outdoor activities, I longboard and play volleyball and soccer. I also have a dedication to health, as I love cooking fresh, organic dishes and going to the gym. Weightlifting is slowly becoming a passion.
