Going to college is the start of a long professional journey for me. I plan to earn my bachelor's degree in a health and science-related field and continue on to medical school to ultimately specialize in pediatric endocrinology. I have been considering this career as my dream from a young age because I want to be a professional that can understand patients on a deeper level. Through my 14-year experience of living with and managing type 1 diabetes, I aim to be the person in whom juvenile patients can find feelings of reassurance, comfort, and understanding, with a degree and qualifications to help. My fascination with medicine and science has grown exponentially over the course of my entire life. From 9th grade to senior year, I have taken classes that strengthened my passion for science. In college, I want to expand on the things I already have core knowledge in such as neurogenetics, anatomy, and epidemiology, yet have the option to venture into parts of pre-medicine that are unfamiliar to me. I will take action to be exposed to research and opportunities that will enhance my learning experience thereafter. In an educational environment that embraces new ideas and promotes growth in all areas of life, secondary education is the perfect way to continue discovering subjects I love. Outside of school life, I envision myself dedicating time to volunteer work and while interacting with people from my culture in a diverse city. I know that my passions are the future of the world, and I am determined to achieve my aspirations in college.
