Zainabu Mohammed

I come from a family of five, and am very passionate about becoming an obstetrician. I have always been intrigued by the human body and how to help out through science. Growing up in Ghana I saw a lot of people becoming ill and unable to get the proper healthcare needed because of lack of enough health care service and also due to socio- economic status. I am determined to help my community by telling them everyday about the importance of our health. and I know one day I will be someone that can help the community and save lives.

My community is one of the most important places in my life because it is
my home and where I grew up. As a member of the community, it is my
responsibility to help and support my community.I have always been
involved in after school activities like zero waste and a community
programs like MMCC ( Mosholu Montefiore Community Center) to better myself and help my school community. I am a person who enjoys helping others by providing the basic necessities. I have always been there for others by providing emotional support educational/academically. I love motivating my peers and getting them involved in activities that promote their public speaking by making them confident individuals.

As a current student at Bronx Academy of Health Careers High school, I have always dedicated myself to doing more and continue to improve myself. I have attended college courses through the Lehman college now program. I have always been involved in after school activities to better myself and help my school community.

I am and I will be determined to help others in the future whether it means through trial and tribulation. I strongly believe that “without failure, there is no success”. Life is not made to be easy but to find ways to make it easier. Learning from our mistakes will help us grow and become successful.
