Starting in 2020, I’ll be a freshman at Georgia State University, majoring in Public Health and Biomedical Sciences. I’ve always known that my passion and purpose in life was to help people in some sort of way, and I want to immerse myself in the medical field one day. I’ve had the privilege of engaging in amazing opportunities like interning at medical clinics in India and shadowing surgeons who own hospitals in the city Pune, India, where my family is from. 

 

While born and raised in Atlanta, Georgia, I’m a second generation Indian, and my culture is something that has been a huge part of my life. I’ve visited India so many times as I’ve grown up, and every trip is better than the last. I remember every time, I sit in a rickshaw, the same experience, the horn honk chatter, gasoline filled air, and banter with the rickshaw drivers, evolved as I grew up. It’s the same sounds that bring back the fond memories of the home away from home. It’s a huge part of who I am, and it’s never stopped growing with me. 

 

Expressing what one feels and what one enjoys and has passions for is extremely important in anyone’s life, but it’s important to know the ways that one should express those feelings. I have two main ways that I like to embody my emotions in. I enjoy sketching, acrylic and alcohol ink paintings, and poetry. 

 

The passion in my life that drives me to move forward is my passion for the medical field. I have always carried the mindset that if you are able to help those in need, why wouldn’t you. I have always had an interest in caring for others, but what has really pushed me in the direction of pursuing medicine are the real times I have spent working with various patients from different socioeconomic backgrounds, and even in the pediatrics ward. It showed me that I loved the way humanity in medicine pushes me forward. I hope to combine all of my passions one day and practice medicine in less privileged areas in countries like India, or even join doctors without borders someday, to travel around the world and help people who need it most.
