All throughout my life, my mother has been my guide, my mentor, and my best friend. During my freshman year at Montgomery Blair High School I had decided to try for the girls’ varsity Lacrosse team. When I shared the news, my friends flooded me with questions as to why I wanted to try out for the supposedly “white” sport, and my parents simply did not understand what the game was. The phrase “white” sport was not unjustified as there were only two black girls on the team. Playing lacrosse became the first step to my isolation from my team, my friends, and my family.

After I exited what I thought would be an exploratory laparoscopy, doctors explained how they had to perform a left-oophorectomy secondary to a large endometrioma. I was devastated. However, what was most shocking to me was the fact that it was done without proper consent or any prior explanation of the surgery’s possible outcomes.

I am seeking an internship to continue my journey in dietetics. This journey began when I sat through a dietetics informational segment during orientation week at college.

That day, I decided to switch my major from nursing to dietetics.

At age 3, my parents divorced and I became an anchor for my family’s sanity. I had to become strong and successful with my every action. Like many typical Asian-American families, I was given high standards with every choice I made, especially with grades. With a single parent, it becomes more difficult to reach out for extracurricular activities, so I pushed myself to participate in AVID during my middle school years, providing me with a stronger academic backbone moving forward in the education system.

Because of the large wooden wall, the area felt cut off and separate, so for the first few weeks of college, I spent more time in my room, alone, rather than out in the lounge where a few people congregated to talk. As the semester pushed forward, I pushed myself to venture out into the lounge more in order to make friends on my floor.

Emma! Pay attention!” “Stay on task!” “Stay focused” We are in a first-grade classroom. A small dreamy girl with blonde curly ringlets sits in the front row, directly facing the teacher. The teacher signals the girl in an effort to pull her back into the class but her efforts are fruitless. The girl’s mind has already flooded with anxiety, she retreats far back into her imagination, out of the reach of her teacher. A white envelope interrupts her thoughts.
