I love being in medical school. It's a very surreal experience at times, especially when I'm interacting with a patient or dissecting our cadaver. It's such a worthwhile challenge and I feel so blessed to have this experience. I wouldn't trade it for anything in the world. In a couple of weeks, I'll be traveling to Mexico for a medical mission trip, and I am currently planning to do clinical research this summer, with some time devoted to volunteering at a local shelter. Receiving the scholarship money will be very helpful with making ends meet as our spring tuition payment is right around the corner.   Bhavini Patel 2007 Recipient Writes: Howdy Dr. Kayron Dube!
