WHO AM I?

             My name is M., and I am 16 years old. I was born in 1988 in Brooklyn, New York. My parents are from Trinidad and Tobago. We lived in Brooklyn for about 1 year and then we moved to Queens, where we still live today. I am an only child and therefore I am spoiled to a certain extent. As a child, I have always been taught to do well in school and to grow up and be somebody. With these words in my mind, I have been a great student for 10 years. I graduated as the valedictorian of my elementary-high school. Then I went on to junior high school and graduated as the valedictorian there, also.

I used to want to be a pediatrician, but I have changed my mind and now I would like to be a gynecologist. I made that decision because as a female, I would prefer to go to a woman doctor for personal matters and I know that there are many women that feel the same way.
             In order to become a doctor, I need to first finish high school with a decent average and good SAT score. I have a 96 average at this point in my high school career with all honor credits. Now, I am in my junior year and taking 3 AP's (APUSH, Spanish, & Biology). I am going to work hard to maintain my 96 average and go even higher and to pass all my AP classes to prepare me for college. After high school, I am going to go to college. As of now, I have three schools in my mind: New York University, Sophie Davis, and Syracuse University.
             I even have a job that I maintain along with school. I work at the McDonalds on the corner of Springfield and Horace Harding Expressway. After school, I head straight to work. I work until 8pm and then come home and do all of my homework and studies. On Fridays and Saturdays,...
