First of all, I am truly appreciative and utterly blessed to even be considered for this opportunity. God has bestowed grace upon , for that I can not thank him enough. 5 years ago, as a high school senior in Advanced Placement (AP) Biology, I could not even imagine being where I am today. At first, I wanted to be in media, then law, and the AP biology class helped me discover my passion for medicine. I found a huge inclination to the body and how it operates, and its many nuances. Fast forward five years later, I am almost done my didactic coursework for my doctorate in Pharmacy, and headed to Vietnam to see first hand how the medical clinics operate in a country far different from my own, to meet people who are much different than those I frequent, to experience a culture that will broaden my perspective on human life and interaction. I could only dream about this as a 17 year old who's brain could barely expand out of the Washington DC metro area. The mere fact, that I am planning on a two-week trip to Vietnam for medicine is breathtaking. I am lost for words, and I am extremely grateful to say the least! Whatever you can donate whether it be big or small, will help. Every cent to every dollar is helpful, and I am grateful all the same regardless of amount. To make this dream of mine become a reality, would be the hugest gift anyone could bestow upon me. I am not one to ask for a new phone, new game console, or anything of that sort. If you could be so kind, help me experience a trip that may change my entire professional career, and moreso, change my outlook on the world as a whole. Thank you.
