Hello all! My name is Alex.
I reside in Rosemead, CA. For those of you who don’t know, this is near Pasadena. I have lived in the Los Angeles area since I was born. In other words, my life can be summed up by blue skies, palm trees, and the inability to see stars at night. I love it there.
I grew up in a house with my parents and three siblings: an older brother, an older sister, and a younger brother. Having several siblings makes for a hectic household, but I am grateful for all of them. Each is responsible for a different aspect of myself and, without them, I would never have learned humility, responsibility, or audacity.
I am currently going through the hell that is being a second year biology major. If I can bear the long storm ahead, I would love to go to medical school and pursue a career in neurology. There, I would be able to study the nervous system and its many disorders. For some reason, diseases intrigue me. Similar to how wars are perceived as the most interesting parts of history, diseases to me are the ‘wars of science.’
One of my favorite questions to ask is, “If you were to live life based on an idea, experience, lesson you have learned, etc., what would it be?” For me, I would like to believe that every person is extraordinary. As individuals that have led different lives, no one else is able to offer what you can.
(It’s the cheesiest thing ever. Trust me, I know.)
