I began to volunteer at a free clinic for women with cancer, where I was inspired to study medicine. I hope to attend medical school and participate in public health programs. I will not only treat patients, but also be a social advocate.

With my college education, I hope to gain as much knowledge and experience as I can. I am very interested in broadening myself and opening up to new ideas through learning.
