Another year, another ISM journey, but nonetheless, a completely different path. It’s been quite a while since I last conducted an interview or even went on a mentor visit, but I am back better than ever, ready to start my journey through the world of Neurology!
Last year, as an ISM I student, I had gone into the program thinking that I wanted to study Neuroscience, but because of an impulsive decision and too many Ted Talk videos about regrets, I felt compelled to check out International Marketing. Although I thoroughly enjoyed my year and the time that I got to spend with my mentors, Ms. Regina Borda and Ms. Timea Domokos, I decided that business was just not where my heart was at. After eliminating business as a possible career option once and for all, I went back to my lifelong aspiration of going into the medical field. I vowed to myself that over the summer I would find what career I wanted to go into, and indeed I did! During July and August, I had the opportunity to shadow Dr. Dike, a neurologist at Affinity Neurocare, and I absolutely loved what he did and all that I got to learn. Hence, I am continuing my ISM journey by studying neurology. In terms of the actual class, this past week in ISM mainly consisted of introductions to the class and the students. In fact, we went ahead and did our introductory speeches, which allowed me to learn more about my fellow classmates, especially the juniors. It’s so inspiring to see how passionate everyone is about their topic. Veterinary Science, Game Development, Human Rights Law, Orthopedics, and much more: our class has it all! I am quite excited to see what this year brings me. Having already completed the entire ISM curriculum once, I hope that I can work smarter and not harder this year. Most of all, I cannot wait to get started on learning about what I love!
