I love to learn, but I love to use my knowledge and experiences to help others a lot more. This is one of the many reasons I want to be a doctor. Being an Afro-Latina from the Bronx, I want to contribute to my community, not only through health education; but to also be a source of encouragement. We can all be our best selves despite our circumstances; we just have to work a little harder.
"My mission in life is not merely to survive, but to thrive; and to do so with some passion, some compassion, some humor, and some style."
-Maya Angelou
