Living in a house built with structural compromises is deceptive, it may look flawless on the outside, but eventually it catches up to the foundation’s integrity.
One structural compromise was when a medical malpractice in Pakistan led to the passing of my father. As I grew up I learned how working in the medical field doesn’t just matter about the hours or the pay but about how your one action can save or break a family’s future. Like that single preventable error dismantled my structural baseline as a kid, forcing my immigration to the US. I lived with the hole that so many tried to fill, then watching my mother navigate not only a new landscape but also trying to shield me from the fracture of my loss. Growing up I didn’t have any personal memories of the tragedy but no one failed to remind me how I always looked away at the sight of a father buying his daughter cotton candy.
* **Demonstrated Interest:** Applying via the binding Early Decision 1 (ED1) timeline. Visited campus in July, emailed regional officer regarding pre med. voices after undergrad such as grad school and or med school and maintains active engagement across university social media channels.
