Right now, I am a 1st year medical student at the Latin American School of Medicine (ELAM) in Cuba. I’ve known for quite a while that I wanted to be a doctor, but in the recent years, my vision has become clearer. It really does feel a bit serendipitous to me when I quickly skim through my life up to this moment in time. But when I tease out the details, especially from the last 8 years, I start to see the commonalities; always, I lead myself with intention, a commitment to a higher state of being (that is, in collective), and faith in something yet to exist. And I continue to do so. But this time, I’ll be doing more reflection of my experiences, synthesizing them with all that I’ve accumulated from the brilliant minds I’ve crossed paths with, and hopefully in hand with others, create something beautiful out of it. So to the person who read my first entry in its entirety and those to come, thank you for joining me on this journey.
