"I love playing the violin. I have played since I was three and picked it up quite easily. I would spend hours a day perfecting solo pieces, highlighting my dedication to a craft. I also enjoy the violin because it clears my head to focus strictly on the piece I am playing. It enhances my dexterity, coordination, hand strength, and fine motor skills. I believe all these skills will transfer nicely into my profession as an interventional radiologist."

"I volunteered a lot during high school, particularly with Habitat for Humanity. There was a chapter at my high school devoted to this mission, and my friends and I often worked to build and repair houses for others in the community. Since this was so long ago, I did not include it on my CV; but, I think it speaks to my character and continued passion for service."
