"Bettering my community is going to be a big part of what I do as a physician. I already volunteer at the local children's hospital and plan to continue my volunteer work after medical school. One specific way I will help my community members is by holding free educational workshops every month. The workshops will tackle tough issues that the community faces, such as narcotics abuse and increased teen suicide rates."
