sholarship applications tho...

I know it is a million of errors but I had like 30 mins to write...

My main area of interest is pediatrics so I really try my best to expose myself to many valuable experiences to improve my social skills and have a better understanding of toddlers and adolescents.

Growing up as the eldest daughter of three children with the responsibility of being the family bilingual translator, I have always regarded taking care of others as my second nature. I have always felt the urgency to offer my help to anyone who might or might not need my help. Simple as it is, helping and caring makes me happy. As I matured, I realized that I not only want to help those who needed my aid, I also wanted to heal them. The intrinsic desire to be a healer- especially to young children (because to me they are the most precious) has led me to where I am today: a teacher, a caregiver, a mentor, and a friend.

As an undergraduate assistant for a life science lab at UCLA, I help the students in the class perform experiments and provide them with motivation for them to do well in the course. I want everyone in the class to do well so I really tried my best to master the subject before teaching.

I became a part time on campus babysitter every Tuesday after seeing a single mother’s ad requesting a babysitter from 7pm-10pm for a one-year baby. Babysitting has taught me patience-I have never thought I have some much patience inside of me.  No matter the circumstance or tantrums I learn to never let my frustrations be revealed because the baby’s wellbeing is more important.

I interviewed to be part of CityLab high school students enrichment program because I wanted to develop my presentation, social, and teaching skills. From the program, I not only learn how to educate students in a way that is easy to understand but also fun.  As I learn to express myself better so others might understand me, I also became a better listener.  I realized that listening is as important as talking. From just listening to others I have learn so much more than I would have ever learn.


Recently I have become a private tutor for a number of students because my work study has not been providing enough hours for my living expenses. My interest in pediatrics has given me the experiences needed for me do my job. However, working and doing research has taken a lot of time on my studies. Even thought I am still performing well in school, I often feel exhausted and tired by the end of the day. Even so I am proud of my accomplishments because I know I have tried my ultimate best to make my dream come true and to help others at the same time.
