148 Words1 Page

Also during this time, I was struggling between my career choices for college. On August 6th, I was observing Dr. Joby, an emergency room doctor. Every patient he observed he moved with swiftness and elegance and challenged me by giving me small tasks on getting to know the patients and observing the little things when providing care.

I participated in the 4-U Mentorship program, which paired me with a fourth-year medical student who was preparing to do his residency in general
