I’m super thankful for Kyle and Hannah for supporting us throughout this entire process! We honestly couldn’t have made it through with all the times they answered last minute questions for us or just offered us a supportive high five throughout the day. It’s really comforting to know that they truly care about us and want us to succeed throughout this process! We also could not have done any of this without the support of PAC and the entire active chapter. Every time we have a fundraiser, we always have their support and that’s always super comforting to know that we have these people who are here for us!

I feel that the biggest hardship I have faced this quarter is not doing as well in my classes. It’s been really hard getting my scores back each time and knowing that I could have done better if I had had more time to study. I know that I will have to study really hard for finals and I’m really disappointed in myself that I am not doing as well academically as I had hoped. Most importantly this quarter, I think I learned to speak up and stand up for myself more. I think I gained more self-confidence, which I am really happy about.

Something that I haven’t shared is that when I open up to people and reveal my quirkier, funnier, and weirder side, I am insecure and wonder if they would find me odd and not want to be my friend anymore.

I think the mock interview yesterday went well. I definitely just try to be myself and let my personality show through my responses as much as possible. I did try to do some preparation by researching the lab ahead of time, which I think really helped so I can demonstrate that I have done my homework and am actually interested. I think one thing I learned is that I need to learn more about healthcare issues so that I can discuss them more thoroughly.

My plan for this week is to study hard for my midterm on Wednesday and then use Thursday to catch up on interviews and pledge interviews. I hope to go really hard on my sig reqs and get a large majority done by Friday because I am going home for the weekend. We already did half of the UCLA scavenger hunt and will likely do the Santa Monica next Thursday. We will also be practicing our dance and such next Monday.

It was really great to be able to attend the panel and hear their advice about healthcare careers. I really appreciated the advice of paying more attention to how I should market myself to medical schools. It is important to sell myself appropriately, for example, by saying that I would stay in the area after graduating from medical school. The point about making my experiences personal also really resonated with me. I definitely now realize the truth that anyone can be involved in an activity, but the effect it has on you is completely different and it is important to portray that in the application. While grades and scores are important, they will only get your foot in the door and from then on forward, it is your character and experiences that will carry you through.

My happy place... is home. I miss home a lot because I miss being taken care of and being with my family. I miss my boyfriend and the love and warmth he provides me. I miss the space and the relaxation and the comfort! Home is my happy place because I feel like it’s where I can truly unwind and recharge, where I have complete reign.
Right now in the school year, I feel like I have grown a lot as a person because I have learned so much more about my own confidence in myself and ambition. I am much more comfortable being out of my comfort zone now and trying new things. I enjoy meeting new people more in college but I have also learned how to be more independent. I have grown a lot but I know there is still much more room for improvement.

Austin is my biggo and I love him so so much. He is always there for me, whether it be studying together or bringing me gatorade heh. He always takes care of me and makes such an effort to be engaged!! I know that I can come to him with any problem or struggle and he will always give me the best advice. I want to make him proud :3 
Jacqui is my Gbig and i LOVE THIS KWEEN! She is such a ball of sunshine and brings an undeniable energy to every situation. Her happiness and excitement always encourages me too but she is also always there for me and checks up on me!
Brenton is my 2G and this man is... amazing. We live very close to each other so I am excited to hang out with him over the summer; he will not be able to escape me!! I think he is so funny and everything he does makes me laugh. He also always checks in on me and I am so grateful for that!
Stef is my 3G and this girl is so so sweet I love her! Though we haven’t gotten to know each other super well yet, I feel like she has so much wisdom to share and her personality is so kind and genuine. She has the sweetest thoughts and intentions and I am excited to get to know her more!! Also I am very sad that she will be graduating :’(

Some of my goals for this quarter are just to finish strong, in terms of schoolwork and extracurriculars. I would really like to get straight A’s. To do so, I know that I will have to study very hard for my last midterm and very hard for all of my finals. Also, I hope to get an officer position in one of my clubs so that I can continue to be more involved in campus organizations. The interview will be at the end of the quarter so I am pretty nervous for that but also looking forward to it.

Some of my accomplishments for this quarter include making many new friends and receiving higher positions in some of my clubs. I’ve found that my first two quarters here at UCLA were difficult because I had many acquaintances but noticed that I don’t necessarily have many deeper, longer-lasting friendships. This quarter, I am so glad that I have had the opportunity to meet such amazing people and form deeper relationships with them that I know will last for years! Also, I am very excited because I am currently an intern for one of my clubs and also got a position for another club for next year!

My personality type is ENFJ-A, otherwise known as the Protagonist. It says that Protagonists are natural born leaders and enjoy guiding others to work together. I feel like this really resonates with me because I strive to be authentic and grounded to my values. I can also agree with some of the weaknesses outlined because I believe that I may be too sensitive to criticism and also struggle to make tough decisions, which are two things I am still trying to work on.

I really enjoyed the lock-in event over the weekend because I got to know my friends on a much deeper level. Sometimes, we are just so busy and caught up in our packed schedules that we don’t really make the time to get to know one another. It was so nice to just be able take time and focus on developing our relationships with one another. We did shared about our backgrounds, proudest moments, and even insecurities. We even had a roast session! Overall, it was just an amazing weekend and even though I had a midterm on Monday, I really appreciated the time.
