Noe Mendoza

My name is Noe Mendoza, a 19 year old first generation student from an low income community and family. With aspirations of being a general dentist by the age of 25 and have an established private practice by the age of 30 years young. My family came from Mexico, father crossing the border at the age of 17(now 60) with nothing in his pockets, because the man knew one day he was gonna have children and wanted a better life for them, than the one he had. My mother not having her first pair of shoes till the age of 15(now 61) or her sister passing in front of her because they didn't have transportation nor the money to take her to the hospital. In one generation alone I want to make sure she never has to worry about money again, and make sure my future kids and their kids are secure, no one should ever go trough what my father and mother have gone trough, I have pledged to help everyone who I can when I obtain my career.
