Passionate About:

This may seem overly cliché but I'm passionate about helping other in anyway I can especially children. My passion for helping has led me to my premed track that I am passionate for not only because of how my brothers helped him at 6 months because of how my doctors have influenced me. This is one way I can help the children in my community is to help them with their health. I hope to after I finish my schooling for my Osteopathic medicine to work in a emergency pediatric ward.
