A Special Tribute to All My Teachers

I am forever indebted to all of my teachers. From my kindergarten teacher to my current mentors in medicine, it is through their patience and efforts that I have been able to accomplish all that I have thus far. I also consider all of my coaches in sports as teachers. The lessons I have learned through athletics have proven to be infinitely valuable in the challenging pursuits of the practice of medicine. I think of you all often and will always cherish all that you have taught me.

I feel that education is the most important thing a person can have and strive in my free time to dedicate my personal efforts to ensure that we continue to improve our educational systems and extracurricular activities.
