I’m still only an undergraduate, but my decision to study pre-med is clearly
the right choice. While I was doing research on community health clinics
for an honors course, I got involved in organizing a local community health
education initiative. I’ve applied for several grants for the project and it
looks like the funding will come through. I’ve been asked to speak at a
national conference on community health and while I’m a bit nervous
about addressing such a large group, the important thing is that the project
is getting the attention it deserves and that I can help it continue to grow.
