before classes began and appreciated all the
thoughtful advice they shared throughout the year.

northern community to an urban setting, was a big adjustment

the way—and helped nurture his strengths and passion for
medicine. By experiencing a variety of courses in University 1,
he was able to not only figure out what he liked most but take
the first steps toward reaching his goal.
