Everyday I am reminded of who I am by waking up and walking over to the bathroom mirror.Turn the sink on. Rinse my face.In the mirror I see a dark, slender face. Black hair, brown eyes, and a slight mustache growing.I am an Asian American, five feet, ten inches tall.What do I do?I am a UCLA first year, out to explore and find my true calling in life. Everything up until now has been a preparation for this moment.Boy Scouting, Youth basketball, Coaching Youth basketball, running for student government, being who I am has been because I had to get into college.But now what.I have achieved one of my life dreams.Do I just enjoy and bask in the light? Or do I make a new goal and work hard for it?Becoming a Pediatrician is my new goal, something that I’ll enjoy even when I’m of an old age. Working with kids has silently been one of the pleasures in my life. UCLA is an outlet to helping me achieve this dream job. It won’t be easy, but I have never been more determined.
