Grit Story

My parents didn't have much education. A month after I started university, my mother was diagnosed with breast cancer, and I've been taking care of her. It's been a tough process because of university, work, and my mother's situation, but despite that, I maintained a 9.6 GPA.

Academic Path

I want to finish my degree so I can open my own clinic and help people get back on track with their daily life activities.

Work History

I worked in a seeds and grains shop while preparing for university, then in a store, then I started working in a spa to pay for university expenses, and at the same time I give massages and therapies at home to cover my expenses.

Community Impact

At school, my classmates and I organize campaigns to provide therapy in communities and hotels. At the Christian church, we meet to bring food outside the hospital.

Future Aspirations

I want to specialize in oncology physical therapy and pediatrics and open my own clinic.
