I studied to become a doctor to serve and dedicate my time to the needs of ill people. Lucky for me, I had my parents lead as examples as they served people through medicine in a very humble and non-profiteering way. I had the opportunity to do social work in Parrita, and through out this experience I realized that I wanted to dedicate my life to take care of children. Pediatrics is an amazing career, full of joy and happiness. To be able to help out children when they are sick and to guide parents during the growth and development of a baby is a true blessing. At the end of the day, nothing compares to the smile of a grateful child.
