I always thought healthcare was affordable and accessible to all, but as I grew older I began to realize the many gaps present in our system. As a part of the Design Cultures and Creativity program, I look forward to exploring a way I can bridge the gap between healthcare and minority populations. Affordable healthcare is something I am extremely passionate about and am super excited to build upon this interest as a part of the DCC program.

    My interest in science started at an early age from excelling in my STEM courses to furthering that interest through rigorous AP and honors level classes in the subjects I most enjoyed. Over time, I noticed my particular passion for learning when it came to medicine through the numerous medical seminars I attended that were hosted by hospitals and online shadowing programs on the various specialties of medicine. One such eye-opening experience was Brainterns, a medical internship program hosted by Lenox Hill Neurosurgery, which focused on neurosurgical shadowing and clinical research innovation. In addition to learning about the vast number of medical specialties, I particularly fell in love with the clinical research aspect that was discussed

    Currently I have a few goals in mind when I think of what will be happening in my future. My most immediate goal would be getting into the Honours Chemistry level 2 program and, preferably, with the ability to complete a co-op placement. If I follow this path I will have to take SCIENCE 2C00 and SCIENCE 3C00 to be eligible for a work placement. After that I would be spending a total of five years at McMaster with two eight month work terms.

    My first year of teaching was terrifying, so the relation to Bilbo and the dwarves’ transition to the Misty Mountains from the comfort and safety of Rivendell is very familiar to me. The safety net provided by being a student teacher allowed me to observe how a classroom operated with an experienced teacher; I was able to hide behind the protective shell of her while I summoned up the courage to teach a lesson. I had to teach lessons while student teaching, but it is nothing compared to having your own classroom and being responsible for a room full of your own students. I had the confidence any college student in the education program at the University of West Georgia would have: great GPA, great recommendations from my professors, and outstanding

    Studying as abroad in Zaragoza could give me the chance to grow as a person and learn things I never knew before. I hope to define myself as someone who is independent, passionate about traveling and the Spanish culture and open to exploring new things. I believe that I already have potential for some of these qualities and I know I posses a few, but actually being in Spain can allow me to enhance them further and learn more about myself. Without my family I would be forced to make my own decisions and do things for myself like figuring my way around town and balancing schoolwork along with the challenges of settling into a new country.

    Having a job seems to be a normal thing for any individual on a daily basis – a person must work in order for them to provide basic life necessity such as food and clothes. Any job can be stressful no matter what; whether doing paper works or hard labor, ‘time’ is always an enemy (deadline). But being in school at the same time having a job can be much stressful because you even have to divide your focus and attention. It’s really never been easy nowadays to find a decent job with decent benefits and salary and just enough to pay your apartment rent. My biggest stressors are work and school; it’s been so tough for me in the last year ½ to focus because I am working and going to school at the same time.
