My path in life took a while to figure out
- 1. - Not hearing back from other Medical offices about hiring an intern. 
- 2. - Realizing that Dermatology wasn't for me. 
- 3. - Knowing that I wanted to find a career where I could have a family in the future. 
- 4. - Wanting a career that can support my family and I. 
Defining Moments
How I responded to discouragement
- THE NOISE - Messages from Parents: - Do you really want to spend 12 years in college? Are you sure it is something you will be passionate in? 
- How I responded: - Be able to find something that interests you. Once you go to college and figure that out, than you are on a road to success and happiness in the future. 
Experiences and challenges that shaped me
- I had 2 knee surgeries a while back and I went through depression because none of my friends wanted to hang out with me anymore because I couldn't do fun activities that they could.
