Growing Up... It all had to start somewhere!

It all started when I was a kid, I've always wanted to become a doctor. Yes a doctor, because they got to cut people open and make lots of money. Especially after seeing all those episodes of ER and Strong Medicine. Then came Grey's Anatomy. I've always had an interest in the healthcare field. When I was growing up, I was taking many family members to doctor visits and translating medical terminology at age 8. I would have to learn what those instruments were, what many common diseases were, and then explain those things to my parents, aunts and uncles, and grandparents, etc. That was then, and this is now. I now understand and know what doctors, nurses, paramedics, EMTs, etc. do to help make people feel better.

In my high school years (2008-2012), I attended a special program called Early College, which allows students to take many college courses while still in high school. In addition to taking college courses, I took Advanced Placement, Honors, and Pre-AP courses. I'm very glad I had the opportunity to do that. I graduated with my Associate's Degree in Science and on the Distinguished Achievement Program. It gave me a head start towards my BSN and BS in Biology and Chemistry and BBA. Who can say they are 18, and are already in their junior year of undergraduate studies?
