The ultimate goal of Pediatrics is to provide every child with an equal opportunity to reach and maintain good health regardless of socio-economic challenges. I have had the opportunity to attend medical school in China and to practice medicine in India. These experiences have played a key role in shaping my ability to adapt, operate, and thrive in an atmosphere of growing challenges. Practising in areas of diverse backgrounds has given me the flexibility to adapt to people from various cultures, religious backgrounds, and languages. My academic path, career and personal experiences within these countries has greatly shaped my approach to medicine. I have worked in environments with limited medical advancements and conversely functioned in …show more content…
For the first time I had the opportunity to work with an advanced Neonatology team, and the exposure was very educational as it introduced me to the new "family centered" medical care. The hospital encouraged parents to play a more prominent role in the care of their newborns with the help of a multidisciplinary team. The value of such an approach was most evident when I was able to explain the pathophysiology of Necrotizing Enterocolitis to concerned parents, who could not grasp the need for a delay in starting their newborn on feeds. I involved the parents by contrasting a normal abdominal x-ray to the changing abdominal gas patterns in their baby. Spending the time to educate them on their child’s condition was fruitful as it aided them in their medical decision process. This experience was reflective of my time as a volunteer in an underserved facility in India where parents had a far more limited role in the care of their child. If the parents are given the opportunity to play a partial role in the medical care of their child they could better assist in the preventive care and future medical

Since my unsuccessful attempt to gain entrance to medical school medical school I have taken upon myself to strengthen all aspects of myself that could have, in any way, been viewed as inadequate to the decision boards of medical school admissions offices. I started this quest by changing the location of my residence and enrolling myself in one of the most respected higher learning institutions in the nation, The George Washington University located in Washington, District of Columbia. Here I have been pursing my passion for medicine, in a preparatory capacity, studying Anatomical and Translational Sciences.
My whole life I have been invested in doing what I love, focusing on my true passions, as well as finding new ones. I have been very involved in my high school, and have been lucky enough to be a part of multiple clubs and activities. Without these activities, my high school experience and life would be a lot different. I have been an active drama club member, a part of ‘Bottlecappers,’ a club advocating anti-drug, alcohol, and bullying to younger students in my district, and many other community service opportunities. I am lucky to have the opportunity to be in these activities, as they have shaped me to be the young adult I am today.

New York University is absolutely attractive to me for its vibrant location—the center of New York City. Besides studying in classrooms, students in NYU can go outside to explore New York through programs like Cohen Arts & Culture Experience. Discovering internship opportunity on Wall Street or enjoying an opera in Broadway, I believe the life in NYU is colorful and exhilarating. Also, as a business student, Stern is beneficial for me to plan career development through Wasserman Center for Career Development, from accessing the NYU CareerNet to hosting career fairs. The close proximity to potential internships of top cooperations will allow me to supplement my knowledge from classrooms with actual and practical learning. Additionally, the social
Growth is necessary for successful students and the desire to learn should be a powerful driving force for those who intend on advancing to professional programs. Challenges are important for self-improvement, development, and overall growth. Through growth and challenge, I was able to change my study habits and become the student that I am today. I allowed science to change who I am as a student and I intend to pursue my dreams of becoming a doctor and continue using science to help others.
I am currently a biology major with a minor in chemistry and a pre-professional concentration. Being a Hispanic woman and first generation, educational and professional opportunity and equality are challenging. That being the case, with my determination to overcome the odds, it is my ultimate goal to become a pediatrician and open my own pediatric practice focusing on helping low income families. With the establishment of my own practice I plan on giving equal attention and health services to all despite their financial situation. At this moment my goal is to finish undergraduate school and attend medical school. With persistent determination I believe I will achieve this and accomplish my goal.
The world in which I was raised in compares to no other, thus has shaped my personal attributes and dreams in a drastic way. From living in a city with a bad reputation as well as family that was gang affiliated; my parents knew that moving into an altered neighborhood would help shape me into the individual I would need to become successful and unique in my on way. From living in Watts and then moving to Lynwood I can say my stabilized home has given me a sense of appreciation towards my parents’ hard work to provide for my sibling and I. This sense of appreciation motivates me to push myself to surpass any boundaries and strive for excellence and none the less. With that thought, knowing the hardships and obstacles my parents conquered, the sky is my only limit and with college much more can be achieved, especially with the motivation I have to succeed. Living in a dominantly Hispanic community, many of my peers as well as friends and family have fallen under stereotypes that are used to categorize Hispanics. I on the other hand, take criticism such as, “nothing good comes out of Lynwood” and do everything in my power to prove it wrong. My motivation, determination, and ambition to make my parents proud are the heart of
Coming from high school with a passion for anatomy and biology and also a desire to study math and physics, it was difficult for me to pick a major. However, I knew I had to make a choice between studying a pure science or engineering as an undergraduate degree. While I was unsure of my undergraduate pursuit for a long time, I have been determined to attend medical school for a long time. My desire to study medicine has been driven by the desire to tackle challenging diseases. Through my knowledge of the medical field, I realized that combating diseases requires not only an understanding of the biology, but an advancement in diagnosis and treatment using applied sciences and innovative ideas. This is essentially the undertaking of engineers.
Perseverance, as defined by Vocabulary.com, is persistence and tenacity, the effort required to do something and keep doing it until the end, even if it's hard, not giving up.

“Yale is the place that endowed me with the confidence and the grand scope of the world that a young designer needed to excel and make a difference in the real world.” – Yansong Ma. Yale University (M.Arch ’02).
As a child I always had a voice to be heard around the house, whether it was singing along to my favorite Barney songs or bossing my younger brothers around, my home was consistently filled with conversations of humor and sincerity. Soon after the Barney years came to an end, I turned into a chatty pre-teen. Life was moving along conversation to conversation, until it stopped. At the age of twelve, I was rushed to the hospital for what seemed to be a simple headache, but turned out to be a brain abscess- which required two invasive brains surgeries. I was one of the lucky ones, who got to walk away from my condition with both my cognitive and speech functioning remaining intact, but this experience was pivotal for me to want to go into a field where individuals were not so lucky.
I am applying for admission to the graduate program in the Electrical and Computer Engineering Department at Carnegie Mellon University. I intend to pursue research in the fields of Signal Processing and Machine Learning. I am particularly interested in working on real world problems and applications which combine concepts from signal processing and machine learning with computational modelling and statistical inference. I am also interested in developing applications of signal and image processing using machine learning methods.
