When I was attending Greenport High School, I was lucky enough to be a part of such a giving community. Through that community, I volunteered at our local hospital, Eastern Long Island Hospital and found my passion to become an emergency room physician. Currently, I attend the University at Albany (SUNY) as a freshmen in their human biology program and pre-med track. I feel blessed for all the opportunities I am eligible to have because of living in an amazing country like the United States. But this also made me reflect on those less-fortunate than I in different countries around the world. I would love to help those in need of healthcare through the Global Medical Brigade offered at UAlbany to help as many people as I can. During my summer break, a team and I will be visiting Honduras to educate and treat many of the people there. This is a huge opportunity for me to not only help other people to share the good values my hometown, Greenport and the United States have taught me.
