Who am I?

My name is Samantha, and my friends call me Sam, if we are close. I am an aspiring physician, but I am also an artist, traveler, student, and friend. I am an only child, but my friends are my family. And I am in a sorority, and those girls are my sisters. I have a good life, but I have struggles like many of us do, including challenges with family and mental health. But the world is not perfect, and there will always be some things wrong. Relationships and connections I make with others are an important part of my life. I am bubbly and extroverted, and I love meeting new people and hearing what their life stories are. When I meet others, I want to be a positive impact on their life and radiate positive energy. I also live in the moment, because throughout my life I have learned that we only live once, and that we might as well do something even though we think we might regret it. I have learned that it is worse to live in a world of knowing “What if’s” rather than living with regrets. And I dream, a lot. It gives color and chaos to life, but it has led me to experience amazing memories and learn from a lot of people in life, and I do not regret anything that derives from them, good or bad.

How am I going to change the world?

My goal is to continue pursuing my double major in Art and Biology to integrate my artistic personality into myself, and continue integrating my creativity into medicine. Art, for me, is an opportunity to explore endless possibilities and exercise my creativity. Even though science can be straightforward and systematically organized, I have learned that medicine is not like this: unknown factors can influence illnesses and diagnoses. My fascination with medicine is the path to solving this puzzle and looking beyond what is presented. Art allows me to look beyond what I see and think, to find what is hidden in the background. I would like to change the world with my different outlook on medicine, and make an impact on those around me through different ideas and opinions I will be able to contribute to the medical field.

What is going to be on your epitaph?

A friend, a dreamer, and an artist. I would like people to remember me for the positivity I try to bring to others, and I would like to tell the living that they have to experience every day as it is their last. Do not live thinking about what if something would happen, live doing and working to your dream
