On the summer afternoon after graduation, I sat on my bed listening to Nirvana on vinyl, fresh and green at 18. I looked around at the room that had come to define the last years of my childhood. Pictures I had torn from magazines and books were pasted together in a huge collage that masked the white walls of my bedroom.

this personal connection has influenced my choice of public health as a career and helped me work hard during my undergraduate study at George Mason University.
