Ello all!
So a little over two weeks ago, I came back from Carolina to begin RA training and get myself ready for school. It's a little weird not living with a room mate this year and a lot of times it can get a little lonely... esp when you're in a new location and are just trying to get to know people all over again and etc. But praise be to God for getting me this far; I appreciate it. In the bottom of my heart, I'm pretty excited to be doing this, however I know that the journey will be long, hard and challenging but this is the type of experience that I have been looking for time-- something that would get me out of my comfort zone. That's all folks.

Summer Break
Hello All
It has been a while since I have updated you all with what's going on in my life. Well for starters, my sophomore year of college has finally come to an end Thank God!! And shockingly enough, I have changed my career path! yes. Instead of pursuing Med school, I have veered off that path that I have known for so long to pursue a career in dentistry! I made the decision during the initial start of the summer. After seeing my orthodontist and recalling past experiences with my dentist, I realized that dentistry was the career for me. It was an EXTREMELY emotional decision for me and I thought about it for a couple of days and I am certain about it. Now I am trying to catch up on much-needed information about applying to dental school and what I need to do to get in.
On another note, I have a job for the SuMMER!! I'm pretty excited about it and although it's temporary, but I'm pretty psyched and thankful for having it. What I'll be doing is R.A.-ing at a program at my school and working with high-schoolers and helping them develop skills needed to succeed in college.
What are you doing this summer?
later and enjoy your time off from school

Feliz Pascua!
Feliz Pascua!! Happy Easter
Today was a wonderful day. I celebrated Easter with my roommate and we went to Grace (a Korean Church that my students from my school go to) it was interesting to see how Korean and English were incorporated into the service. Oh and did I tell you how good the food was?
Anywho, I got off from spring break about a week and a half ago, and now I have only 5-6 weeks of school left. ~YIKES!~ So in order to keep my self motivated, I've been trying to keep my mind, body and soul clean and healthy by running and meditating (reading the Lord's word) and get keeping a positive attitude on things.
Here are a couple of clips that I like to look at from time to time. Hey, lets just say I like to stay inspired.

Have a Fantastic Week
P.S. I'm an R.A for next school year!

Start of a new semester!!
Hey all!
Interim ended a couple of weeks ago and my Spring semester began about two weeks ago!! Interim was really chill and I really enjoyed it. I got to go to Chicago and New York which was really fun and relaxing ~~ On another not it feels like I've been in school for about a month already! This semester I'm taking spanish, psych stats, chem and microbio in addition to work part time and working as treasure for our on campus org- Democracy Matters and possibly teaching ESL for spanish. Although I am busier than last semester, I am definitely more focused on doing well in my studies and just doing my best all around; whether it's in my course work or relationships with others. My new's year resolution is to give 110% in everything I do. What's yours?
On another note, I'm in the process of applying and interviewing for the RA process at my school (I'm actually really excited about it because I feel that I'm the type of candidate that they are looking for). I'm also looking for some health-related jobs back in my home of NC. I'll let y'all know how that process goes.
I gotta go, but I'll part with some encouraging words. Have a great Valentine's Day and week!!

I'm on that Medical School hustle...
So, I'll be brief. I am a second year pre-med student.
I've been working like crazy this semester and currently I am almost finished with my finals. So far two of the four have kicked my ass. It's day four of five and I've slept a total of 24hrs split between those four days and it looks like I won't be sleeping tonight either... Chemistry requires and all-nighter to redeem my grade.
My advice to aspiring pre--med students. Always work ahead and plan on committing time to having a relationship with your studies because it will come to bite you in the ass. What ever free time you have, spend it wisely, because you'll need all the time you can get. Also, plan on becoming and insomniac; it's inevitable :)
Anyways, wish me the best of luck as I try to conquer my chemistry final and own it!
Peace and hit me up with any of your questions
