As cliche as this might sound, when I was 8, I babysat some family friends of mine who were around 2 years of age. During the time I spent with them, I often found myself smiling and laughing a lot at the silly stuff they did and it got me thinking as to how I can make sure children of that age can enjoy life to the fullest without having to worry about their health. That’s why pediatrics came to me. I wanted to help children lead healthy and fulfilled lives. As for cardiology, it was more a spur of the moment when I was asked what specific field in cardiology I’m interested in. Overall I am dead set on being a pediatrician.
