My Nonprofit Reviews

My introduction into this world wasn’t an easy process, my mother suffered a lot during her pregnancy and I was born seven months in. The story and suffering my mother encountered had a great impact on me and I chose to use my life to learn and benefit from those around me. I started school at a younger age than my peers and through the constant support my mother gave me I graduated high school with a GPA of 97.6%.

I was always interested in immune diseases and decided to enter Pharmacy school. I could have gone to Medical school instead but I aspire to be a pharmaceutical researcher in the near future. I hope to make a difference and be paid for something new in the field involving immune disease control and treatment. During my first year I applied to the scholarship program offered by Reach Education Fund but was not fortunate in my first application, in addition to my second and third. I began working on different ways to enhance my skills and development in hope to get the opportunity to be part of their family. Thankfully, I succeeded in the fourth year and my dream came true. Despite the amount of time it took, the experience made me stronger and taught me to never give up.
