Envision helped me to truly secure my future career goal and meet so many amazing friends that truly will last a lifetime. My friends and I from California are still in touch, and it was so amazing getting to share this experience with other future medical professionals! My passion for medicine has always been present from a young age and it's just a calling. I can't imagine myself in any other career than the medical field! I strive to become a pediatrician and help in rural hospitals where medical access is vague.

Envision Programs Attended: NYLF Advanced Medicine

Envision helped me realign my goals. At first, I wanted to be a doctor to please my family, not because I loved it. After going to Envision, I fell in love with the career of a doctor. The relationships a doctor makes with their patients made me excited because I love making new relationships in my life. I also love helping people, and I believe this career path is perfect for that. I understand it's a lot of work; however, Envision helped me see that becoming a doctor would not only make me happy, but it would make me proud of myself.

The Envision experience impacted my life by allowing me to become more confident in my ability to lead. Also, Envision surrounded me with people who shared the same passion I do. My passion is the Air Force and more specifically being either a fighter pilot or a bomber. After I get more experience in the service, I would love to be a U-2 pilot. Most importantly I want to express to kids around the globe that with hard work and dedication any goal or dream will be made possible.

Before going to Envision, I was so nervous that I cried at the airport. I was scared I wouldn't make friends, I was scared I would be bad, I was scared that my entire life was going to change. And it did, in the best way possible. I had the most amazing time and met the most amazing people. I now know what I want to do with my life and career. When I went home, I cried at the airport again, this time because I didn't want to leave.

Envision Programs Attended: Global Young Leaders Conference

Prior to my personal Envision experience, I genuinely had no idea what career I wanted to pursue. However, after attending, I truly feel like I gained a better understanding of myself and where I want to be. It helped me understand that I strongly want to seek after studying humanities and/or social sciences, and aided me in gaining this direction. Even the universities that we visited gave me a sense of being more grounded within myself. All the group discussions vastly broadened my perspectives while at the same time helped me strengthen my own opinions. The impact was powerful in several ways, helping me feel a sense of independence, network and create new connections. Overall, it was an experience that shaped my life.

This aspect of the program taught me how to collaborate with people of different mindsets and how to compromise while maintaining personal interests. This program exposed me to different cultures, created friendships beyond borders, memories that will last a lifetime and left me with a never-ending desire for more.
