Timeline of events
naturally gravitated to medicine because nothing seemed more interesting than learning about the work of
my father and other physicians.
The majority of my teenage years I lived with my mother. My mother is a very strong and charismatic woman
who taught me to be a responsible citizen. She was always engaged with my schoolwork and constantly met
with my teachers. Her support in my studies always encouraged me to do my best. In the suburbs of
Centerville, Ohio, many of my friends enjoyed luxuries at no expense to themselves. My mother encouraged
me to get my first part-time job at sixteen years old so that I would learn how to be financially responsible
and know the hard work it takes to afford what others take for granted, like going out to the movies, or
buying my first car. While working as a drive-thru attendant at Skyline Chili, I gained insight on how to juggle
my many responsibilities and commitments. My days consisted of school, lacrosse practice, work and
finishing homework before heading to bed. This lesson was important in my life because after moving down
to South Carolina to finish out high school, I worked an average of two part-time jobs while simultaneously
excelling in school. I carried this hard work pays off mentality into college and have applied it to everything
I have done. This showed when I ran and was elected president of Alpha Epsilon Delta (AED), the largest
pre-medical honor society on campus, as well as now being the primary instructor to all new Personal Touch
Volunteers in the emergency department at Palmetto Baptist Hospital. The AED organization, prior to my
presidency, collected close to $4,000 to use for member experiences . Im proud that during my term, we
raised nearly $20,000 to expand programming to our members. I contribute these leadership skills and
hardworking mentality to my mother.
The third influential figure in my life was my grandfather, or Pa as I called him. He worked every day through
the hot summers and freezing winters of Ohio delivering bread to local supermarkets in his hometown of
Fairborn. Even though he never went to college, he still provided for his family by working many long days.
Pa was the glue in our family and always gave everyone a strong sense of family whenever he was around.
During holiday dinners, Pa would always enjoy being the family photographer. He showed all of us that
every moment mattered, and material items couldnt compare to the importance of family. Being rather nave
in my early years, I didnt fully appreciate the moments I had in life until Pa passed away. Before he passed,
I assisted him with basic tasks that his illness disabled him from doing on his own. It pained me to see him in
such a lethargic state and I couldnt believe the depth of emotion that I had never experienced before. The
feelings of sorrow and pain of losing a family member has never left me, so I have chosen to channel these
emotions towards my drive to help others. For example, I created an annual blood drive on my campus to
assist people, like my Pa and others, who needed blood. My Pa taught me the vulnerability of life and it was
through cherished memories and heartfelt experiences that I retain these values.
I believe all doctors require the passion to help others in addition to their medical knowledge. These family
members have ignited my passion, and I look forward to continuing my education to become a
compassionate and intelligent doctor.
