I am an incoming college sophmore with a strong passion for medicine. I have been accepted into my dream college and am thrilled to begin this new chapter in my academic journey. However, I face financial challenges that could potentially hinder my pursuit of education. Throughout high school, I have actively engaged in various activities, from volunteering to internships and research work. My dedication to advocating for my community led me to volunteer in Northern Nigeria, where I worked with a team to address community health issues. Together, we focused on maternal health challenges, including STIs, and prenatal, and postnatal care. I am deeply committed to supporting and advocating for my community. In my school district, I organized social and educational events that celebrated the rich cultural heritage of the Black community. Additionally, I served as a representative and actively participated in student panels, amplifying the voices of my peers. Besides my academic pursuits, I enjoy various hobbies, including reading, tennis, volunteering, knitting, babysitting, and Fencing. These activities have enriched my life and taught me the value of perseverance and dedication. Despite facing financial barriers, I refuse to let this deter me from achieving my dreams of becoming a neurosurgeon Any contributions made would directly impact my ability to pay for tuition, books, and other college expenses. Your generous help will be an investment in my education and the betterment of healthcare and the advocacy work I am committed to.
