About (request update)

I am a junior in high school just trying to make my parents proud. Financially, my parents are having difficulties so I am willing to work hard and do anything I can to make my 4 years in college easy for them. Often times, people believe I am doing to much and should wait till I am a senior but I believe that its never to early to look and be part of things greater than yourself. I am driven to get my education in order to have a better future.

Current Whereabouts:

Finding scholarship to attend an HBCU music & singing

Life & Professional Aspirations:

I want to become a Pediatrician. I made this decision after I went to Haiti and volunteered at my moms organization. I came to realize that many people are in need and don't have life as easy as the most of us. Also, the death of my friend made me desire a profession in the medical field. She was living with cancer and I felt her pain even though I wasn't the one with cancer running through my veins. Seeing her suffer made me want to help CHANGE lives. I believe and I KNOW when I become a doctor i will be able to do so.
