Ever since I was 6, I wanted to become a doctor and have always been interested in the sciences. My interest was accentuated, and in high school when I took a lot of science classes and learned about the specifics of blood clotting and how it can lead to heart attacks and a lot of other problems. Since then, I have been greatly interested in learning about cardiology and understanding the study of our hearts and valves. As someone who has been interested in getting into the medical field, I have a passion for helping others and a desire to make a positive impact on people's lives. Whether it is through direct patient care or behind-the-scenes work in research and administration, I am drawn to the opportunity to play a role in improving health outcomes for individuals and communities. I wish to find a solution for the fast pacing heart problems that have taken almost half of Americans. I wish to win scholarships to help me pay for college so I can get a chance into medical school, to help continue my dream.

Ever since I was 6, every time I was asked what I wanted to be when I grew up, I said a doctor. My parents never set up career expectations for me, so I grew up wanting to be a doctor on my own accord. As a pre-adolescent, I cried every time I went to the doctor. The pain, the anxiety, and the fear, all took over me as I entered the office. This was all before I realized, it didn’t hurt as much as I anticipated. It became a more thrilling experience than it was painful. As I grew older, I stopped crying as I now wanted to understand how a small injection can drastically change the condition of my entire body. My curiosity was accentuated as I entered high school. I took a lot of science classes, and in a specific biology lesson in my Junior year, I learned about the specifics of blood clotting and how it can lead to heart attacks and a lot of other problems. This made me realize how much I loved the study of biology and how much I wanted to become a doctor. As I am applying to colleges, I am mentally stabilizing a plan that would help set out my goals. I wish to major in biology and study all the prerequisites needed for me to get into Medical school. From Medical school, I wish to pursue a career in surgery and specialize in cardiology. I have always had a great interest in both biology and cardiology. I take AP Biology and have always been motivated and eager to learn. I work as a volunteer in the cardiology department at my neighborhood hospital to expand my knowledge of the field. Through this opportunity, I am able to oftentimes watch and observe actual procedures take place. I take use of this benefit to acquaint myself with the field before I enter it. I also completed a research internship on cancer, where I was prompted to learn and research the causes and effects of cancer. I have researched for long hours and have made many presentations in the program. As someone who has been interested in getting into the medical field, I have a passion for helping others and a desire to make a positive impact on people's lives. Whether it is through direct patient care or behind-the-scenes work in research and administration, I am drawn to the opportunity to play a role in improving health outcomes for individuals and communities. I wish to find a solution for the fast pacing heart problems that have taken almost half of Americans. The country with the highest heart problems has been America for years, and I wish to use my skills in cardiology and find a way to decrease these issues. My long-term plans additionally include studying abroad and helping patients around the world that don’t have the medical resources for them to stay healthy.
Lillian's & Ruby's Way Scholarship
My desire to shape and grow the diversity of the community by educating people about the disadvantages people face around the world and in their own communities inspired me to get involved and make changes in my community. I come from a family that immigrated from Bangladesh in search of a better future for their children. Apart from poverty, my people in the country are also faced with a lot of racism since the minority of Bengalis are Hindus. April 2021, my father let out a large gasp as he recited the news. "200 temples in Bangladesh set on fire". I was enraged. Later that week, I was at a Bengali party and was disgusted to hear some people laughing about the burned temples. The biggest issue related to the whole tragedy is the ignorance of people. They refuse to understand the struggles that Hindus have been going through for decades. Despite my lack of power, I set out to raise awareness. That night, I reposted a post about the tragedy and commented on my thoughts on my Instagram story, and only a few hours later, I discovered that several of my friends had it reposted as well. I was gradually making a change. I could no longer stop myself from fighting for the rights we deserved. Although my actions are currently simple, I hope to embark on a path in the future where I will educate people about the trauma and injustice that is occurring in the background. In addition to making a change to educate people about Hindu racism, I embody inclusiveness due to my efforts to bring justice to the unrepresented. People have described me as a leader since I was a preadolescent. I began to apply this core value of leadership to help shape my community. My inspiration came from my experience with homeless people approaching drivers and asking for food. People should be treated with the same respect regardless of their background. Most people are afraid to ask for help, however, these people are forced to beg others for spare change. As I believed in equity, these snide remarks from the outside were heartbreaking. I set a goal for myself to assist these people as soon as I had the resources to help. My wish came true as a means of a last-minute idea. I was at a community service event where the coordinators rewarded us with trays of food. As they had anticipated a higher volunteer turnout, there was still a lot of food left by the end of the event. As I overheard them discuss throwing all the leftovers out, I sparked an idea. I wanted to take this opportunity to donate to the homeless and help a homeless shelter. I laid out the plan and they were more than delighted to help promote with executing my goal. Later that day, as I drove by the streets of Flushing, I donated food to several homeless people on the street. The surprise in their eyes made me realize how much they are underappreciated because of their outward appearance. These individuals were once just like any other person on the street. They are someone's son, daughter, father, or mother, but they are suddenly looked down on by society because of a situation that caused them to become homeless. I delivered all of the food that was left over on the large trays to a homeless shelter. The expressions on people's faces inspired me to work harder to commit more acts of kindness. I felt very accomplished at the end of the day.

My parents never set up career expectations for me, so I grew up wanting to be a doctor on my own accord. As a pre-adolescent, I cried every time I went to the doctor. The pain, the anxiety, and the fear, all took over me as I entered the office. This was all before I realized, it didn’t hurt as much as I anticipated. It became a more thrilling experience than it was painful. As I grew older, I stopped crying as I now wanted to understand how a small injection can drastically change the condition of my entire body. My curiosity was accentuated as I entered high school. I took a lot of science classes, and in a specific biology lesson in my Junior year, I learned about the specifics of blood clotting and how it can lead to heart attacks and a lot of other problems. This made me realize how much I loved the study of biology and how much I wanted to become a doctor. As I am applying to colleges, I am mentally stabilizing a plan that would help set out my goals. I wish to major in biology and study all the prerequisites needed for me to get into Medical school. From Medical school, I wish to pursue a career in surgery and specialize in cardiology. I have always had a great interest in both biology and cardiology. I take AP Biology and have always been motivated and eager to learn. I work as a volunteer in the cardiology department at my neighborhood hospital to expand my knowledge of the field. Through this opportunity, I am able to oftentimes watch and observe actual procedures take place. I take use of this benefit to acquaint myself with the field before I enter it. I also completed a research internship on cancer, where I was prompted to learn and research the causes and effects of cancer. I have researched for long hours and have made many presentations in the program. As someone who has been interested in getting into the medical field, I have a passion for helping others and a desire to make a positive impact on people's lives. Whether it is through direct patient care or behind-the-scenes work in research and administration, I am drawn to the opportunity to play a role in improving health outcomes for individuals and communities. I wish to find a solution for the fast pacing heart problems that have taken almost half of Americans. The country with the highest heart problems has been America for years, and I wish to use my skills in cardiology and find a way to decrease these issues. My long-term plans additionally include studying abroad and helping patients around the world that don’t have the medical resources for them to stay healthy.

From channeling from one radio signal to another, the modern phone has allowed people to release stress and gain satisfaction from listening to music, through just one simple device. We are additionally able to watch the news and check the weather with apps that are built into the phone. People no longer have to rely on luck or ancient methods to predict whether it will rain today. Phones also have imported many vital apps that help ensure the well-being of people’s health and mental conditions that are necessary to live a healthy life. In emergency situations, ambulances, the police, and hotlines can always be reached through a simple call. The phone's mechanism also allows these emergency services to track your location and provide the necessary assistance. Aside from staying connected to emergency services, phone technology has also made the impossible possible. Most high-tech smartphones allow people to call each other while simultaneously viewing their faces. Facetime has been one of the most exciting and entertaining features added to the mobile phone. Nikola Tesla once stated, “Not only this but through television and telephony we shall see and hear one another as perfectly as though we were face to face, despite intervening distances of thousands of miles”. Due to the advancement of technology, this prediction made nearly a decade ago has become a reality, helping millions of people bridge the gap between their loved ones. From carrying efficiency and easy access to listening to music and Facetime, technology has demonstrated through the invention of the modern hand phone that, over time, we are moving towards a more convenient world that helps to keep people in touch with society and serves as a vital resource in keeping us safe.
