My interest in the medical field began when I was in fourth grade. The way that this came about may not be common‚ but I now realize that everything happens for a reason. At the age of nine I had the urge to pull out my eyelashes‚ later I would learn that this is called trichotillomania.

When I first started to learn the world of medical terms I was completely overwhelmed with the amount of words that didn’t match anything I already knew.
