When I entered high school, I was grounded to two careers: law and medicine. After taking health science classes and receiving the opportunity to shadow the different departments at my local hospital, I realized that embarking on a medical journey was what I wanted to pursue. Influenced by my sister, biology caught my attention for a major. Following my AP Biology course in high school, I knew majoring in biology would create an enjoyable and smooth pathway to medicine.
