In 2007, I, along with a few of my peers, founded the Little Lemon Drop Jr. Guild as a way to give back to our community. Since then, this nonprofit organization has raised thousands of dollars that has gone to support uncompensated care at Seattle Children’s Hospital. Throughout my middle school and high school years, I have been very involved with this group. When I had the opportunity to choose a service placement for this year, I immediately knew I would be doing my service through the Little Lemon Drop Jr. Guild because of my previous involvement with the guild and my passion for the cause the guild supports.
Morehouse School of Medicine is an appealing option for pursuing my medical education. When reading Morehouse’s mission statement, improving the health and well-being of individuals and communities grasped my attention. My clinical experiences revolve around communities that are underserved, and sharing the same mission as Morehouse is key to becoming the physician I aspire to be. One of the things that stood out to me about Morehouse is the student run Good Samaritan Health Center. I am very interested about being involved with God Samaritan, because it is akin to the Siloam Family Health Center that I volunteer at, and it is an embodiment of Morehouse’s mission.

As of last year, I became Co-President of the Stand Up Against Cancer Club. The officer positions were passed down to myself and two other friends our sophomore year by senior of the class of 2015. Though our club had a very slow start last year, we are excited to recruit new members and hopefully conduct more service projects. We hope to get the school more involved with our club and want to make a difference even if its only in small measures. Last year, we made christmas cards to send to Brenner’s children’s hospital.
I have a heart for community service which led to participating in city-wide advocacy campaigns. One of the initiatives was advocating with the Alliance for Quality Education for Universal Pre-K in New York City. I travelled to Albany, NY to participate in an education rally and spoke with my assemblyman Herman Farrell, on behalf of the families of New York City, to gain his support for UPK. Within a year the initiative was approved, and the following school year the UPK program was implemented. As a leader in the social justice ministry of my church I coordinated a Sunday, with the New York City Department of Education representatives, which allowed them to speak to our congregation of over 9,000 members, and enroll children into pre-kindergarten the same day.

My deep compassion, extensive work experiences, and honed leadership skills have uniquely equipped me to bring my own contributions to the richness of the MEPN program.

Additionally, I firmly believe that the art and science of quality and inclusive healthcare begin with understanding the challenges and needs of underserved populations.

I have always been interested in the medical field, and I have always tried to be part of any organization that would increase my knowledge about different medical careers. Currently, I am part of my school’s Allied Health Academy that allows students who want to pursue a medical career to earn their CNA certifications.

One day, sometime near I shall become a Billionaire and I myself will help not only by money, but also by sitting in with other powerful people to influence to help others. My interest in my major has led many wonders in my soul, to how great an impact I can play in society and help uplift.

I want to learn how everything is processed and kept organized. I’m also interested in working a professional atmosphere just to see how it is like. I’ve always gone to hospitals to visit the sick and injured and have recently become curious about how it is like ‘behind the scenes’.
I aspire to enter into a career as a research scientist in a health-related field, with a specific interest in the biology and chemistry of cancer. This career path was inspired collectively from my early interest in helping and mentoring others as well as my life experiences growing up in rural Louisiana (LA). This love of "helping others in need" was instilled into me early in my life as I learned the virtues of applying my efforts in elevating the wellbeing of people in need. I often volunteered my services at homeless shelters, food drives, and at American Cancer Society and American Chemical Society outreach events. In addition, in school, I often helped tutor my peers in STEM subjects and received words of thanks and notes of appreciation
As pre-veterinary students, we are choosing to devote our lives to caring for animals and the people who care for them. Therefore, it is necessary that we learn to serve others, which is why community service is a key component to our career development, as well as our self-development, for it teaches us selflessness and compassion for others. Aside from personal improvement, community service is important because it is our communities who have shaped us as individuals, and I believe we should give back to those within them. As a member of the Pre-Veterinary Club’s Community Service Committee, my goal would be for all members to develop a strong desire to give back. I am responsible, highly motivated, and creative, and I would work hard to
