New York City is rich with culture and tradition from around the world. Some of the major challenges I expect to face from working in this environment are the potential cultural divides that can exist between the patient and physician. Language barriers and societal disparities are among some examples that I expect to come across. The ability to be willing to view your patient as an individual‚ with their own customs and outlooks‚ forms a large role in building trust between the patient and provider

I’m writing about raising awareness to low-income children around America that aren’t able to play sports. I have been blessed and lucky: that I had parents that had the resources for me to be able to play at high level of soccer‚ basketball‚ football‚ and lacrosse. You can call me a spoiled brat because I had pirate lessons which consisted $60 per hour (sometimes more) when it came to basketball. I was also able to go to sports camps before the seasons started which gave me an advantage when the

A little over a week from now‚ October 8th through the 14th‚ is OCD awareness week. About a year and a half ago‚ I became severely anxious regarding stepping on floors such as linoleum due to the cracks and lines. This might be hard to understand‚ but for me it felt real.

I couldn’t go in public‚ I couldn’t use many bathrooms
