“Studying medicine has always been my interest, he said. “Growing up and also in high school, I was looking for challenges. I was always trying to find challenges and from what I have seen and heard from friends, only a select group can even enroll, let alone finish medical school. Also, the feeling of helping others, the knowledge you get there, plus all the prestige, respectability and responsibility the occupation of a doctor carries with it, it certainly always attracted me.”
