People dont really understand how hard it is to be apart of a statstical anomomly. As first gen students, some of us low income and some of us of color, statstically we arent supposrd to be here. Like we beat the odds by every stretch of the word to even be where we are, and thats so hard and isolating. Sometimes having that stabilization, that pillar is really important to your success, and I feel like I get to provide that for others.

I mean I love this kind of work. How many people can wake up and genuinely say theyre fufilled with their lives and what theyre doing? Theres so much direction, so much leadership and support I wish I gotten- especially when i first started college- that I didnt. But I get to actively be that change for so many others, and that helps keep me going even when I have SUCH a long way to get to my own goals in medicine
