Hello, my name is Grecia Rodriguez. I am 20 years old and a full time student at Florida International University's Honors College. I have completed an Associates Degree in Biology at Miami Dade College with a 4.0 and graduated Summa Cum Laude.I am now pursuing a Bachelor's Degree in Microbiology at FIU. I aspire to become an M.D. with a specialization in Ophthalmology and sub-specialty in the Retina. At MDC, I was an American Dream Scholarship recipient and the President of Phi Theta Kappa Honor Society @ West Campus. I was also awarded for my "dedication and academic excellence in Biology", awarded Student of the Year (2018), awarded for my continuous involvement in Student Life as well as in Student Government Association. Also, I have worked on a year-long research project under an MDC professor, also my mentor, on the link between obesity and sleep deprivation. I want to further my studies and cultural view of the world by attending this study abroad class in Vietnam/Cambodia. I have never traveled outside of the United States and it would be a culturally enriching experience to see the outside world and its conditions. However, the trip is quite expensive and I hope to fundraise money to make this possible. Any contribution is appreciated. Thank you! -Grecia Rodriguez
