several weeks, my initial motivations for starting college remain unchanged. Resembling others who begin their journeys towards higher education my family, my children, and my future goals are what initially motivated me to begin my own journey. As a young child, I had endless goals of who and where I wanted to be as an adult, however, similar to countless others, I temporarily lost the way to my destination.

As an adolescent I often see my parents on the phone with my relatives in Nigeria discussing their daily struggles, lack of food, little or no electricity and the withering health of the old and the young due to lack of medication and treatment.

The most recent challenges I’ve faced on my pathway to medical school include finding the time and resources to prepare for the MCAT while raising a family and attending school full-time. For as long I as I can remember I wanted to be a physician, but my only concern was how to get there. Growing up my parents emphasized the importance of finishing high school, but never expressed the importance of further my education.
