BACKGROUND: Working in a cancer clinic really helped me decide that my passion is to help others. Being able to see someone nursed back to health over a period of time
was magical for me because I knew I helped to be a part of that. I also worked in a family practice; both centers/clinics are multilingual so am I (Chinese/English).
I do not have any disadvantages socially or educationally.
Personal challenges: I had schools who had accepted me after college (Im stuck at a community college right now). I had applied for pharmaceutical sciences but my
mother refused to let me pursue that major hence being stuck in my situation right now. This was a challenge facing what I had previously planned out an unknown
future for myself. It was not until I picked up my internship at the cancer clinic that I realized I wanted to physically help others.
