Before I dive into where I see myself in 10 years career-wise, I want to reflect on what I desire for myself in 10 years. One key thing in life is to be happy. Happiness not just for my own selfish reasons, but because I would like to share my happiness with those around me. The Buddha once said, “Thousands of candle can be lit from a single candle, and the life of the candle will not be diminished.” Similarly, I want to share my own happiness with others, because it won’t diminish my own. In terms of family life, I want to be married in 10 years. I want to marry at an early age, maybe like mid 20’s.

I think as I gain more experience through shadowing, volunteering, and other similar medical experiences I will be better suited to make those tough decisions that have significant value to me. I think a Behavioral Neuroscience is perfect in regards to what I want to do in life. My dream involves the brain and Behavioral Neuroscience will prepare me incredibly well for
