My Travel Story

Pictures
The first picture is me visiting a temple near me on Lunar New year! I try my best to keep my culture close to my heart. The other pictures are Vietnam and me as a baby in Vietnam :) 
My Purpose
I want to go to Vietnam this summer to find myself in the Vietnamese culture that I missed my whole life. As someone who desperately wants to reconnect and help my country, I am going over to volunteer in the hospitals. 
My Passion
The last time I have been to Vietnam was when I was five, but this trip could rekindle my connection with the country! My main passion right now is my love for premed and medicine. I want to become a pediatric doctor, and this is the first time in my medical career as a freshman in undergrad! Last summer, I made a nonprofit, Pangea Kids, to help kids in Vietnam! We send medical teams around and give medical assistance.

Going to Vietnam will help me greatly, any donations would be greatly appreciated! Thank you so much!
