FOLLOWING YOUR
DREAMS
I have always been clear that if I like something and I have a dream for it, then I am going to do it. I have a passion for science and for biology and I really can’t ignore that. I spend extra hours in the lab doing dissections just for fun. When I had my knee surgery I asked if I could watch it. Last summer, I volunteered at a hospital. I went through all of the departments and got to do exercises with patients in speech therapy, occupational therapy and physical therapy. Going there, you really see what kind of environment you will be working in and if you are going to be able to handle it. I realized that I really want to be in this environment. I want to be an ER doctor. It is everything I want. I love challenges. I love people and I love being in the moment. I want to do the gory stuff!
