My academic and career aspirations are intertwined with my desire to pursue a career in medicine. I realized early in my life that I have an unquenchable thirst for scientific knowledge and serving others. Being able to apply newly learned scientific concepts to real-life situations awards me great satisfaction. Accordingly, I have taken over 10 AP courses offered at our school. I pursued this curiosity through firsthand experiences. In my community, I founded a public health club to raise awareness and reduce health disparities by publishing monthly newsletters. As someone who struggled with depression in the past, I found joy in organizing wellness webinars with health professionals to tackle mental health stigmas through this club. Abroad, I volunteered in Hunan, China, which allowed me to offer medical advice to underserved communities and build relationships with patients from various backgrounds. My purpose is service and compassion, and becoming a physician will allow me to care for underserved patient populations while reducing health disparities to promote health equity. I will be attending Boston University's 7-year medical program. While I am set on going to undergraduate and medical school, I also realize that I will be deep in debt. This scholarship will undoubtedly relieve my undergraduate and medical school tuition burdens and further inspire me to achieve my dreams.
