Students

When I was in high school, my math teacher once quoted a Bible verse, saying, “To whom much is given, much will be required.” Since then, I have followed this guideline because I consider myself to be very fortunate. I am motivated to pursue medicine because growing up in my hometown, basic necessities like food, health care, and good education were considered luxury items. Having been fortunate enough to reap these benefits and reach my current position as an undergrad at Penn State, I genuinely believe that everything happens for a purpose and that it is my calling to give back to my community. I enjoy making a difference in people's lives, and the medical area is the only one that comes to mind where I can perform both acts of kindness and like what I do.
