About

I am a high school senior who works hard to achieve high grades. My favorite subjects are mathematics and science. My dream is to become a doctor and someone who will help the community. My most strongest skills are: fast learner, time management and patience. I consider myself to be a very respectful person who listens to others and provides good advices. I am a person of a high moral education who is always ready to do the right thing at every scenario. I like to put others before me, I am compassionate but intolerable to inappropriate behavior.

Goals and interests

Career goal

I will major in biology and attend medical school in order to become a General Doctor. My goal is to help those who need my help. I love making a difference to people. Nothing will make me more happier than to know that my achievements can help someone live longer and healthier.

Outside the classroom

I like to play soccer and sing whenever I can. Since soccer season ended, I have more time to volunteer, which I love to do. I also go to the gym for two hours, two to three time a week. I sometimes watch anime or read mangas which help me learn more about the Japanese culture.
