As I was finishing my last shift as a Health Leads advocate at Boston Medical Center I couldn’t help but think back to my first shift three years earlier. I was nineteen years old walking into the Pediatric Unit eager to make a difference. Being located in a poverty-stricken part of Boston many uninsured and low-income families would bring their children to Boston Medical Center. As an advocate, it was our responsibility to make sure they had everything they needed from food to shelter while working hand in hand with their physician.

I would like to attend Pratt Institute’s Summer Pre-College course to experience what it is like living on a college campus while learning important art skills that can benefit me as I pursue my career in Graphic Design. My love of art all started when I was in kindergarten. The first art project I remember was a paper collage of a winter landscape, with penguins drawn on top. What I enjoyed the most about this project was adding little white dots as snowflakes. My art teacher Karla gave each of us a Q-Tip and a small cup of bleach. I made sure to perfectly place each dot in the right place. When all of our drawings were donem, my teacher laminated and hung them in the hallway. I was so proud of what I created. Ever since that project I was hooked on creating art. Quickly it became one of my favorite pass times. By going to Pratt Institute’s Summer Pre-College course I wish to recapture the joy I felt when finishing my first art piece.

Because many families travel extensive distances from home and spend numerous amounts of time getting medical care for their children, having a place to stay close to the hospital is a chief concern. Conveniently located across the street, within a few blocks, or only a shuttle ride away, a Ronald McDonald House facility is there to take that worry away.

Through this semester, I acquired the knowledge and tough lesson that I am not perfect and that nothing is guaranteed.

Since I was a little girl, like most children, I dreamed of an exciting future. It seemed I could never quite make up my mind. I experienced more phases than a caterpillar turning into a butterfly. A few of my many phases include being an artist, veterinarian, actress, model, teacher, and, my personal favorite, a princess. Looking back now, I understand why my parents never took me seriously.

My desire to be a pediatric oncologist came from a few special ladies in my life, namely my grandmothers and my aunt.
