-MONEY: I will continue my ambassador job and help open as much scribe

programs as possible

-STUDY: study to take re-MCAT in January (no rush/work this time)

-RESEARCH: start research in March on recovery post graft surgery with

an ortho doctor I scribed for

-VOLUNTEER: continue my MF club

,*also considering a trip back to China, village has constructional projects

that need funding raising and assistance (get the chance to help convince

them to renovate the well and put in a filter system)

If you were accepted into an allopathic school and not osteopathic would

you go and why? - 🧠ANSWER ✔✔-Not necessarily.


-I look for a school that meets my goals 1.) make me a successful doctor

2.) close to home

3.) if there was a school closer and more cost effective I would go, however

I see ME as the perfect match

promise, been striving for 18years now, and I plan to keep it as I have been

doing.
