Admission essay excerpt

However, I wouldn’t want to change anything in my life, even if I have the chance, because whatever happened in the past made me persevere more.

I want to set a good example to my children and prove to them that any adversity is no excuse to get stuck in the same place and situation. I’ve always been fascinated with how the body works and took interest in MRIs and X-rays when I got the chance to work in a hospital.
