I am most proud of starting an organization that spread to multiple campuses to help raise money for international hunger relief.

Biography:
I realized after doing my engineering internships that I should really follow what I love and not money. Realizing how much I loved my work at the hospital and how I excelled at everything while going above and beyond my duties. I love that I had a chance to go to an osteopathic grad school. I know it is the right fit for me based on my personal belief and health care goals.

My parent were first upset that I am doing this especially since I had very good job offers ($60K+) after what I was able to accomplish in my internships. Let's just say I flew bi-weekly on refinery projects to Caribbean and Africa. Sucks that I am kind of caught in this lingo and seeing my friends become already a success. 'I cant come. I gotta study for cardiovascular pathologies.' 'I cant go. I gotta go shadow.' I will feel such a relief once I get an admission somewhere. Hopefully at one of my top choices.

My parents finally come around and understand why I am doing it. I ensured them that in at least four more years, I will finally working (80hrs a week).
