Plans
Last summer, I completed an EMT course. Now that I’m 18, I will take my certification test and volunteer at the local EMS station for the rest of the school year and summer. I will attend college in the fall, majoring in Neuroscience or Biochemistry on a pre-medicine track. I hope to continue volunteering with an on-campus EMS service and serve in local hospitals. After seeing the need for doctors during the pandemic, I look forward to becoming a physician.
