Look at that little girl who had a gun pointed to her head when She was only 2 weeks old! Whose father sacrificed everything as he was assassinated right before their eyes, so, this is my biggest accomplishment so far.
My sister @tenientertainer and I worked so hard everyday to make our mother proud. And I think we succeeded in doing that!
I Started college at 15. Got my bachelors degree at 19. Started medical school before I was even legally allowed to drink alcohol. Finally bagged my MD at 24.
Throughout my journey I’ve been surprised by my strength and my determination. I’ve been very ambitious to experience all the opportunities life offered me.
I am fortunate, grateful and proud of what I have achieved so far and convinced that there is so much more I can do. I will be taking my talents to Gainesville Florida for 4 years to continue my medical training in obstetrics and gynecology. It’s been a great 9 years Atlanta! Will surely miss ya!
