Personal Reflection

Future Plans:
PhD in Biomedical Sciences.

Why a PhD:
In a world filled with so many questions, a PhD allows you to obtain some of those answers. What other job allows you to come up with all sorts of ideas and allows you to get money to figure it all out.

Personal quotes:
Sometimes, I feel discriminated against, but it does not make me angry. It merely astonishes me. How can any deny themselves the pleasure of my company? It's beyond me. -Zore Neale Hurston

Who can find a virtuous woman? for her price is far above rubies- Proverbs 31:10

Comments:
Though many trials have come my way in this journey to my PhD, I have become more determined and committed to executing and fulfilling my dreams.  I'm going to find the cure to something someday.
