Curiosity has always driven me towards positive new experiences, from leaving the comforts of home to obtain a degree in veterinary medicine in a third world country to now attempting to further my knowledge in the field of radiology. Now I am excited to be applying for a residency program where I can indulge my curiosity and further build on my passion in the study of radiology. After learning about Ross University, I jumped at the opportunity to pursue my dream of becoming a veterinarian while indulging my curiosity to experience the culture in a third world country. I solely applied and accepted the offer to attend.
My experiences shaped what I want to be, all of these play on each other like one interconnect experience. A faint memory of my dad's friend explaining his field, and procedures to me went a long way. Even though I just listened to his procedures to be polite, his words become dormant. After some time had passed, I was recommended for braces. The first time I applied I was denied, but the second time I got accepted.

Entering into college, I was lost when it came to what major and career I wanted to pursue. I knew I wanted to help people since I was a child. In elementary, I wanted to be a teacher and then a firewoman, in middle school a policewoman, and in high school I began to consider different health professions. I considered being an occupational therapist, radiologist, social worker, speech therapist, and many other health related occupations. Needless to say, my mom has always been a role model to me.
Although result of that day was a disappointment, I was not regret for the outcome since I had chosen the latter option. Despite the defeats and setbacks, I chose to face the obstacle, and in return, I received a satisfying feeling of accomplishment. With these endurances, I hope to achieve my ultimate goal of becoming a dignified surgeon. Over the years of being a diligent student and bilingual daughter, I have learned to balance between the responsibilities of school works, volunteering obligations, and burdens at home.
Through the organization I had the opportunity to take Health sciences clinical and practical which allowed me to go to the hospital to observe and do hand on. Taking those to classes in high school encourage me to go to college and pursue a higher education and have a career in medicine.
“What you seek is seeking you” (Rumi). I feel as if I didn’t choose to become an optometrist so much as the inspiration was seeking me. Two years ago I panicked every time someone asked me what I was doing after graduation. I hated the time commitment that came with medical school. I knew my nieces and nephews would be graduated from high school by the time I got done, and that my grandmother almost surely wouldn 't be with us.
Currently, I am a senior at Livermore High School. After graduating high school, I aspire to become an Optometrist. I believe this career will be perfect for me, due to the fact that I will be able to work in various settings, make a difference in other’s lives, and maintain a flexible schedule. However, in order to achieve this goal, I will have to spend at least eight years in school.

I have been pursuing a career in medicine to help people live long and healthy lives for themselves and their families. It has been 18 years since I made the decision to pursue a career in medicine and there are three influential experiences that have shaped my interest in medicine:
My goal in the future is to work in geriatric occupational therapy. For two years now, I have volunteered at a service site called Jesuit Hall. At the site, I work with retired priest everyday, and I enjoy spending time talking and exercising with them. Therefore, this experience has confirmed my love and desire to work with the geriatric population. Similar to last year, I love my major, so I will continue my degree
Personal experience and Interest in the pursuit of a STEM or healthcare degree. Since I was a little girl I would see my dad struggling with Diabetes Type 1, a lifelong disease for which there is not yet a cure. Diabetes Type 1 is when the immune system destroys the insulin-producing cells. My dad has to stay constantly aware of his blood sugar that is constantly going up and down.
In addition, finishing up my education and becoming a doctor was not anymore, a goal but a responsibility. After seeing my father from being a warehouse owner to now being a worker in a warehouse and my mother being a housewife to now working woman, my education was the only way I can help them get their comfortable lifestyle
