A little girl stumbled towards me in grass-woven sandals crunching the loose gravel beneath her.\u00a0 Smiling, she raised a wooden stool, motioning me to sit upon it. Her juvenile rheumatoid arthritis\u00a0 did not impede her from offering a kind gesture to a familiar face. Although I had been in the\u00a0 Fatiga Leprosy Village just days at this point, I felt honored to sit alongside the physicians and\u00a0 villagers congregated in prayer under the central village tree. Together, we challenged the\u00a0 notions of otherness or lack of belonging that terms like \u2018leprosy\u2019 conjure.<\/p>\n

Together, we found\u00a0 how medicine is but a sacred exchange between two mortal vessels. We prayed under that tree but the faith that took anchor in me was in the life-affirming and kindness of becoming a\u00a0 physician.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Learning how to assess a patient’s knee.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Looking back, that girl\u2019s smile and starry-eyed expression as I took her patient history reminded\u00a0 me of the nights I peered into my mother\u2019s study room from the dark hallway of my home,\u00a0 squinting my eyes to adjust to the bright lights. It was long past my bedtime, but the curiosity at\u00a0 what routinely kept her awake compelled me to find out. Knowing that I would not leave without an answer, my mother pointed to a collage of atypical shapes and symbols, overlayed with bright neon yellow stripes. \u201cThis is a shoulder. The supraspinatus, subscapularis, infraspinatus, and\u00a0 teres minor make up the rotator cuff so you can move your arms like this\u201d as she flailed lightly.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 Learning how to assess the shoulder.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

With any pockets of free time, I would go straight to my elementary school library for anatomy\u00a0 books, cobbling together impassioned discussions of my simple, naive findings at the dinner\u00a0 table. Years later, my immigrant mother, now a rheumatologist, revealed to me how uplifting our conversations were for her as a motivator to pass her medical licensing exams. Returning my\u00a0 gaze upon the canopy of the Fatiga tree, I thought about how uplifting and motivating that little\u00a0 girl\u2019s gesture of kindness felt. Both experiences became guiding stars for my purpose to bring\u00a0 diverse perspectives to culturally aware care.<\/p>\n

While my experience in Africa clarified my interest and purpose in pursuing medicine, it was\u00a0 volunteering at a VA Hospital during my undergraduate years at UC Berkeley that taught me how integral identity is to the possibilities of healing. When transporting veterans after their surgeries, I recognized how powerful reading non-verbal cues and inviting authentic conversations are to fostering quality relationships. During every patient discharge, I would pass by a 3D model map of the hospital campus the size of a pool table in the front lobby. One day, one patient marveled at the model,\u00a0 \u201cWow! Where can I get one?\u201d His impassioned curiosity after just a couple gravely \u00a0words during time with use for knee replacement surgery hit me as an unexpected surprise. I shared with him how hobbyist 3D printers are cheap online and that even libraries nearby offer a couple free prints per visit. By chance, sharing my passion in 3D printing, which stemmed from my experience on my high school robotics team, bridged his longtime hobby in building model ships and planes to form an unexpected, but significant connection. From there, I learned about his struggles with identity transitioning from military to civilian life, which prompted me to relay resources with the VA social work team for him to seek counseling for mental health and transitional assistance.<\/p>\n

This moment taught me how our self worth and value are wrapped up with societal notions of identity and what we do. I aspire to practice medicine that physically heals but also addresses all the wounds that come with the emotional and psychological load of illness, disease, and injury.<\/p>\n

Inspired by my connections with veterans, I pursued research at the VA, designing 3D printed\u00a0 assistive technology for patients recovering from stroke, and at my university, studied the human motor learning system for patients with cerebral ataxia and Parkinson\u2019s disease. Through trial and error, I collaborated with physical therapists and patients to develop a customizable wheelchair gear to relieve hand strain of recovering stroke patients. While researching motor\u00a0 learning, I met patients frustrated with their lack of command over their body movements and\u00a0 yet, most gave their personal time to participate in conferences and these research projects to\u00a0 advance the field. Both sets of patients who gave so much of who they were while at their lowest taught me that medicine is a collaborative, selfless community that cares for today\u2019s patients and\u00a0 advances our efforts for tomorrow\u2019s. This unique dynamic of reciprocal growth attracts me to\u00a0 medicine and remains a tenet that I aim to contribute to my studies at medical school.<\/p>\n

Medicine, at its purest form, resembles the sacred tree in Fatiga where physicians, students, and community members sit side by side\u2014sharing stories, perspectives, and a common purpose. It\u2019s this spirit of collaboration and service that I carry with me as I prepare to begin my journey at the UCLA School of Medicine. Among the many influences that have shaped this path, the enduring legacy of Dr. Faye\u2014who sacrificed his life to care for those most often forgotten, patients battling poverty, leprosy, and stigma\u2014left a profound impression on me. Though he passed away before I arrived in Fatiga, his presence lingered in every word spoken about him, in the care systems he helped build, and in the dignity he restored. His story reminds me that medicine is not just about healing bodies\u2014it\u2019s about standing with the vulnerable, listening with empathy, and choosing service over comfort. As I look ahead, I carry Dr. Faye\u2019s example with me, ready to grow into the kind of physician who serves with purpose, humility, and an unwavering love for humanity.<\/p>\n
