first blog

Ok so enough people convinced me to start a blog of my adventures of aspiring to be a pediatric oncologist. Since watching my best friend die at the age of eighteen of cancer (I will explain the whole story later) I have wanted to pursue a profession in the field of pediatric oncology to do what I can to work with the amazing kids battling this terrible disease. I am well on my way to my goal but still have a long, long road ahead of me. I am a Junior in a Bio medicinal Chemistry undergrad and volunteer in child life at two childrens hospitals in the pediatric oncology/hematology unit. Next year I will hopefully have the opportunity to research treatments for cancer at the university and hospital. Stories will soon follow. :)
