AFS Family Letter
To my dear AFS family:
HELLO! My name is Guillermo Milla, and I’m looking forward to meet my new family in the other side of the world!
To tell you the truth I’m kind of excited about writing this letter to you because I feel like I’m already talking to you personally!
Anyway, I have always wanted to go on an AFS, because my mother was an AFS, my sister was an AFS, and now I want to experience this life changing experience by myself. People have always thought of me as someone who is very kind, artistic, strong, spontaneous, adventurous, easy going, and a bit weird because no matter how bad the situation is I always smile during the entire process, but because of that I give the “touch” to the classroom … (I kind of blushed when they said

I really like my school since I like to “learn” but I hate studying and homework…yeah I really do. But I think that the thing I hate the most is waking up at 5:00am on the morning to catch the bus and arrive early to the school. You can say that’s the most frustrating thing in my life since I’m someone who needs his sleep to feel “fresh”. My favorite subject is “Biology” since I find life so interesting. When we were first introduced to the class in 10th grade it was easy to me to understand it and everyone always asked me to help them whenever they had a doubt. When I realize how much I liked the human body, I decided I wanted to be a doctor. I first wanted to be a “Traumatologist” ( the doctor who usually fix bones and organs) but when I saw all the little procedures in order to successfully perform the surgery I changed my mind and decided to study “ Internal medicine” (which applies the same years of study, and what I like about it, is that I detect the problems and “fix” the problems before the patient needs any drastic treatment). I sometimes think I’m a coward because I don’t think I could carry the hopes of people waiting for me to save a person’s life, is just too much for

    In school, I have enjoyed learning sciences especially when the topics are related to human conditions. Ever since learning about general biology in my junior high school years ago, I have on my own taken additional anthropology, psychology, anatomy and chemistry classes from a local college for further enrichment and have grown very fond of learning the complexity in human machinery and interaction. Occasionally I do find learning these topics too weighty to continue. Whenever that happens now, I would always manage to pull through by remembering that particular good day where I acted as 'an orthopedic doctor'.…

    As a student, grades are very important to me. I have never failed a class, and I always strive to earn an A. I always try to do my best. In all honesty, I don’t like school much. My favorite class so far this year has to be either French or ACT. A few of my academic strengths are that I’m a great listener, I don’t like to waste time when I could be getting work done, and I check my work a lot to make sure it is correct or near correct. My academic weaknesses are that I won’t ask questions if I need help and most of the time the topics don’t interest me. I like figuring problems out on my own because I learn better that way, but it can be a bad thing if I really don’t understand the problem at all. In those cases, I don’t know where to start fixing my problem.…

    It convinced me to pursue a path in medicine, so I could learn how to work the intricacies of our internal wiring. Taking AP Psychology also opened to me the field of neurology- the foray into the complex chemistry of our brains. I found beauty in the brain’s delicate neural pathways that housed entire lifetimes of memories, and the unique ability of introspection. Along with classes, I participated in medical-oriented clubs such as Health Professionals of America, which helped me experience life in the medical field. As well as clubs, I was an active player in the Girl’s Basketball team in freshman year. I also take archery lessons to improve my dexterity and stamina, which taught me the importance of persistence for improvement. Both my family and my own interest in medicine inspired me to pursue a career path towards Biology in college. Since medicine is increasingly becoming more corporal, I chose to complete a double degree in Biology and Healthcare Management- an option that only UT Dallas…

    Even though I was not an excellent student, I have been dreaming that is someday I will be a Doctor but in which failed I had no Idea. Unfortunately, the education system in my country is not sufficient to help the students to define their right path after they graduate. Indeed, after I graduated from high school, I stayed at home for almost two years in order to find my interest. In the begging of these two years, I applied application in nursing college. When they accepted me, I felt that I will not be successful because I have a phobia of blood.…

    I started my first year of college with my life prearranged. I had a ridiculous notion that everything was going to be a piece of cake. I was going to join different clubs, do lots of research, make the dean’s list, make my parents proud and attend as many parties as I could. However, now when I look back, I realized that I was too comfortable in my life. I thought I was ready to overcome every obstacle that was thrust upon me but I was sadly mistaken. College was a culture shock. I concluded that college is an entirely different universe, then high school. My GPA dropped for the first time in my life from a 3.7 in high school to a 2.8. The decline in my GPA made me realize that my journey to becoming a doctor is not always going to be easy. It made me hunger to go to medical school even more, to overcome the academic and emotional hurdles, and…

    However, I am not going to let this discourage me because I believe that I was born to be a pediatrician. I tried to look through a list of jobs, but I couldn’t find one that suits me better than medicine. With all the information I gathered from my research, I will try to find ways to make being a medical student an enjoyable trip despite the years that it will take me. “Success is not a destination, but the road that you’re on.

    At this point I didn’t know what I wanted to do with my life after college and I didn’t even know what college I wanted to go to. I did not like the feeling of not knowing what I wanted to do as a career. It would eat at me, so I decided to just hide it away deep down until it would find its way out eventually with the right answer a year and a half later. My classes were consisting of required courses that I had no care for. Back when I was a sophomore, we were required to take chemistry in order to complete high school. My chemistry teacher was the worst. He did not care about my assignments enough to actually take his time and read through them and give me an accurate score on my assignments and tests. No matter how hard or little I tried, he would always give me a score of a D or C, Teachers like him are what cause the students to have this thought of, “No matter how hard I try, I will never be able to better myself, I am worthless in their eyes.”. That’s the message I received when I was handed a sixty percent for my semester grade in that class. That teacher didn’t care about me, he didn’t want to waste his precious time on me. Teachers like him are like the diseases in the education…

    All of the courses I am taking next semester and when I officially start College will surround their goal of me becoming a doctor or a pharmacist. They didn't really ask me what I wanted to become it was a given that I would be a doctor because they wanted me to be and “it's the best choice”. So I had to go with it because although it wasn't my first thought for how my future would be it is what they want from me and what they expect from me and to please them I have to do it.…

    It has also helped prepare me for my future nursing classes, giving me a head start. My interest are kinda all over the place but most definitely is some where in the medical field. I want to make myself into a very successful person. My interest is basically the same, I love science. Learning about science and watching documentaries have always seem to intrigued me. My goal by going to college is to come out doing something I love and most importantly helping others. That has been my ultimate goal in life, I want to make someone, be animal or person better.

    The medical field is a career path that brings about many options and opportunities of great value. The noble idea of being a doctor tends to cloud the diligent studying and precise training that is actually required for this career. I have wanted to become a doctor since a very young age, and now that the opportunity is here for the taking, I have fully researched what it takes to succeed in this profession and various specialties of the practice. The road to a medical degree is one filled with thousands of notes, years of schooling, and many stressful nights, but the reward is one incomparable to any other. Saving people’s lives on a day-to-day basis has been one of my dreams for as long as I can remember, so the rigorous curriculum and the competitive medical schooling is a fair trade for the lives I can save. Earning a medical degree comes along with demanding schooling, disciplined studying, and meticulous training, but in the end the degree is worth all the sacrifices.…

    My first six weeks of school has been right in the middle of wonderful and terrible. The first few days of school I was sanguine. But then after that it was as though someone put a malediction on me and everything just got worse. Of course the first few days we didn’t have that much work, but it kept steadily increasing. But it wasn’t the school work that really bothered me; it was the amount of homework. Every night I had at least 3 different classes with homework and it was wanton and not tantamount with past years of homework. But besides that, most of my classes were good. Although my least favorite class is History at the moment because of the amount of homework and work we do. It is like the teacher rebuffs the fact we might have other extracurricular activities outside of school, along with free time every kid needs, and we also have about three assignments every day. It undermines my enthusiasm for history and it’s almost obliterated my enthusiasm for it completely. My next least favorite class is science. The first reason is because in science fair we have to have our topic sanctioned, and she never approves anything I turn in. Also she teaches brand new topics to us as though we are not all a neophyte at that topic but as though we’re professionals at that topic. Math and speech are parity for my next least favorite classes. Math is one because the teacher doesn’t teach very well, and Speech because I don’t like talking in front of others. But I will acquiescently agree to speak if it is required. Second place in my order of favorites is my English class. Mrs. Clark is a paragon and makes the lessons fun, yet we still learn a lot (She also thinks Robert is a vagrant and quarantines him because she thinks that wandering the streets might contaminate him with some sort of disease). Lastly, even though I think Mrs. Clark deserves and accolade for being awesome, Spanish is my favorite class. It is…

    And then my real challenge starts in high school, first year. I had problems, I failed in my Chinese subject that was funny because I didn't know that the school my mom enrolled me was a Chinese school here in Davao. That was really close because if I will not pass this subject I will be kick out from the school. By the time when I was in high school I dream of becoming a teacher, because I want to share what I know to people who are much unfortunate. But when I graduated, my parents decided that I will take Information Technology and it was tough. And now my time in college has come and I know this will be much more “hard work”to do everyday.…
