I was adopted from Ethiopia at the age of 8. Both my parents passed away when I was younger both of my parents passed away from Tiberculosis, I also had TB but the doctors caught it in my left hip before it travelled to my lungs which would have killed me. This is one of the main reasons I would like to persue the medical field. I don’t want people to go through the same pain I did with my limited range of motion in my hip and the leg legth difference. I work as a CNA at a nursing home and love it, plus it gives me an upper hand since im going to be stepping into the medical field. I have a family of three my parents, little brother and me. Played baseball till junior year, been on missions trip to new York.
I would like the essay to really answer the questions from my point of view as a college student! thank youÂ
