Hey! I am a high school senior and I plan on becoming an optometrist. I absolutely love that field and would enjoy providing high quality eye care to those not only in America, but also to those in places where these services are unavailable.
I also really like learning other languages like spanish and italian.
I always try to do adventurous things especially when I travel in order to learn more about the culture and people. In addition I love nature and just immersing myself in its beauty.

What do you want to do when you grow up? A question I always heard as a child raised by immigrant parents. Lawyer or Doctor, the only two professions that exist for them.
However, I ask myself why is it always what I want to do, what I want to study, what I want to become? And not what I want to be. Sometimes I just want to be happy, be myself, be satisfied with who I am.
My dream in life is to be me and do pursue a career that makes ME happy.
