A mishmash of many qualities, good and bad.
I don't really look like any celebrity or famous person (Well ... I do sometimes look like some Asian pop stars right after I cut my hair, but that's another story.) nor do I try to act like any specific person. All in all, I'm just myself.
I love going on random adventures and exploring new places, especially if there are small nooks and crannies filled with hidden gardens to be found. Working out with friends is great and so is music and science.
I can honestly say I pretty much grew up in a research lab. No, not because I was used as a test subject or because I was a deadly creature who could petrify people with my angry glares, but because of my family's financial circumstance and other factors. My family had just arrived in the United States when I was around 3 years old and there was not a lot of time to pay attention to me. No one could watch me, and due to a lack of funds at the time, my dad would take me to the lab he was working in and told me sit outside at the desk in the hall. There was nothing really interesting there, so if the door was unlocked, I would sneak in, hide and watch people doing whatever mystifying (at least to my toddler mind) activity they did. I kept seeing people place their face into this weird thing and fiddle with the knobs on the side for what seemed like forever. One day, I decided to clarify for myself what that strange thing did, so when no one was around, I quickly ran over and peered in. Imagine my surprise when I saw odd shapes everywhere. Some looked like pearls floating on the top of the liquid while others looked like slugs on the bottom. I looked around the apparatus and found a small clear container filled with a pretty coral liquid underneath some tubes, but nothing that looked like the things I had seen. This discovery sparked an interest in the life around me, but it wasn't until middle school I learned that the apparatus was a microscope and the weird shapes were animal tissue. During the summer after my freshman year, I did some basic research in a lab, which only added to my interest in science and medicine as I read, asked questions, and learned more about the process in which treatments were created and how doctors worked. I never thought a person could be both a researcher and a doctor until I spoke to a remarkable woman who was both. Realizing it was possible to pursue both research and medicine, I know knew what I wanted from the future. I want to be able to have a future in both medicine and in research, specifically in either nanotechnology or in tissue/organ regeneration. This story continues up until this day, where I am now looking at various schools where I can study civil engineering and biomedical engineering with a focus in nanotechnology and tissue/organ regeneration while doing a pre-med side course so that I am eligible for medical school afterwards.
