A Huge Thanks!
I really want to thank my mentor, Ms. Christie Delaune, because she accepted me
to be her mentee, and she has made so many sacrifices just so I can get a feel of
what her job is like and so I can accomplish my goals in ISM.
I would love to that all my Health Science teachers, such as Mrs. Hart and Mrs.
Click for encouraging me to keep going in my studies and helping me with my
studies in the Health Profession. I am also grateful because I was selected to be in
ISM, even with the competition amongst my peers.
I especially would love to thank my mom, my mother exposed me to the medical
world and I fell in love with it through her. My mother pushes me like never
before because she sees the potential in me that others may not see. My mother
is the reason I met Ms. Christie, and I know I wouldnt have been as successful as I
am now without her.
