"Paging Dr. Drain is a sound that has resonated in my mind since the 3rd grade. My future ambition is to become a doctor and encourage others by participating in the rebirth of the healthcare system and adding more diversity which will foster the gateway for better healthcare to people of color in my community. As minority students, one of the primary struggles in meeting our goals is a lack of mentorship. I inspire to initiate a nonprofit organization for minority students interested in becoming physicians. Having access to mentorship programs will allow youth to be engaged, encouraged, and enlightened about what is ahead in their future. The program will entail visiting high schools to seek out aspiring doctors and use my personal experiences to motivate and shape future physicians of color. With guidance and support, these students will have the vital tools to become physicians and increase the percentage of African American physicians in the United States.  I also desire to open a clinic where marginalized groups reside and, unfortunately, lack access to adequate healthcare. I hope to not only provide treatment and care for my patients but also educate them on taking care of their bodies and mental status. The availability of healthcare should not depend on skin color or area code.  "Maya Angelou concluded, "I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel." By motivating the youth of my community, they will realize they can be successful despite any obstacles they face. Standing as a catalyst for change for the next generation is my aim while utilizing my educational goals.

Giving back to your community has no time limits or expiration dates. The current pandemic severely decreased opportunities for mentorship and shadowing for my graduating class. Through drive and perseverance, Kaiden's Building Blocks was created as the organization that enabled me to enter daycare facilities and after-school programs in my community and assist kids with reading difficulties. I read African American literature and discussed positive self-care options such as dental care, and offered positive daily affirmations. Furthermore, I have made multiple significant additional contributions to the community. My volunteer experience also includes the Mint Foundations Thanksgiving Giveaway, Kappa League Turkey Drive, and Dallas Feast of Sharing all demonstrate his commitment to the community. I am currently collecting socks and blankets to pass out at The Bridge for the homeless for Christmas.

He stated, “At the end of the day, it’s not about what you have or even what you’ve accomplished… it’s about who you’ve lifted, who you’ve made better. It’s about what you’ve given back.”

My future ambition is to become a medical doctor and offer people the care and assistance they need know matter what their skin color or zip code is.
