Hello there! My name is Begum, and I'm a student at the University of Massachusetts Boston on a pre-dental track to become a pediatric dentist. My passion for helping others drives me to pursue a career where I can make a lasting impact on children's health and well-being. I would be grateful for any scholarship because it would provide me immense support in achieving my academic goals and continuing to pursue my dream of becoming a dedicated healthcare professional. Thank you.
