PERSONAL STATEMENT:I am currently on an exciting journey towards reaching my ultimate goal of becoming a Physician. Along this voyage I have been able to exemplify not only my passion for health care, but also my compassion towards others. Throughout my life I have stood face to face with many challenges. Challenges that involved self-evaluation, as well struggles through the eyes of others in my community and internationally. These experiences have pushed me beyond my comfort zone, teaching me to become resilient and determined. I am prepared to accept the highly intellectual challenges that await me, as I continue to acquire the necessary skills to be successful in a career in Medicine.
