Maria is a caregiver at Peppermint Tree Daycare in Edison, New Jersey. Maria has known me for all of my life, although I don’t remember her as a child. When I was a young girl I attended this facility where she took good care of me and watched me grow until I was four years of age.

I was in the 2nd grade when I got my first glimpse of what being a doctor was like. A young physician from the local hospital came in and spoke to my class about how it was so rewarding working with medicine and helping people from all aspects of life.
