U-C-L-A =) !

University of California Los Angeles has always been my dream school. I always found this school as one top schools in California. I was actually accepted to UCLA for this year, but I resigned my acceptance, due to financial problems. Although I'm going to stay in Oxnard College for two years, I know someday I will be a UCLA BRUIN!

Some people say UCLA sucks, or whatever, mostly because of their football, basketball, or whatever sport. I do love sports, but the main reason why I want to come to this school is to become a medical doctor.

Since I was little, I used to say I wanted to be a doctor. I changed careers over time (teacher, chemical engineer, chef, designer, artist, professional dancer, architect..), but today I'm sure I want to be a Research Medical Doctor.

Why? you might ask... I mostly want to work with looking for cures to diseases, such as cancers. Its been about a year since my cousin Lupita died due to a leukemia cancer. Her struggle made an impact in my life because I don't think it was fair for her to die like that at a very young age (she died two days after turning 15).
I know life is not fair sometimes but when children, in particular, die of diseases, life IS NOT being fair! Kids have so much more to enjoy, live, and to love, its not reasonable why these innocent children have to suffer like this.
For this reason, I want to go into medical school, work in research, and maybe someday work for the CDC (Center for Disease Control).

Whether it takes me six, eight, ten, twelve, or how many years... I will make my effort to find cures to these diseases that have taken our loved ones.
