The school of Medicine at Loma Linda University is a recognized and established institution. It has strong Christian foundation by promoting Jesus faith and Christian values. It welcomes student from different backgrounds, fosters research opportunities and clinical trials. Loma Linda University has being seriously compromise with the community allowing the first infant heart transplant, which I understand is one of the most complex surgical process. Amount its contributions it has played a pioneering role in the creation of a devise that through surgical intervention treats patients with prostate cancer. Loma Linda has reach out the community by offering medical assistance such as SAC to low income population. Loma Linda Medical School no only has prepared students to become successful doctors it has also carried out the mission to teach their students the important balance between the spirit and the body along with caring and compassion.
2) What it makes LLUSM particularly attractive to you? (750 Characters)
It has being difficult to be rise as a Catholic in Colombia where you can freely openly talk about God because everybody else does it. Although while attending in college in America you hear people saying to you that we should not talk about religion or politics. Also hearing that others could easily get in trouble for only expressing a “God Bless you” from their heart. It is sad to see that we have reached this point. I believe that especially the field of medicine needs a higher consciousness level in which there should not be a dissociation between body and soul as some scientific approach tends to ignore the presence of God in this beautiful creation.

I had a clear memory when I was a child about my Grandfather telling me that education is something that you could always keep and that the most important mission that we have on this earth is to serve others. I have always tried to apply these ideas in my life while studying I tried to stay focus and spent my time wisely. I have taken advance science classes in order to better prepare myself for medical school. My inspiration to become a physician truly begins when I understood the real meaning of helping and the satisfaction derived upon it. I have that caring personality especially toward elderly, children and animals because they are the most vulnerable. My driven desire to become a physician has increased throughout different volunteer and medical programs that I have enrolled during the past.

I believe that one of the ways to reach happiness is by appreciating for everything we have. Each day of our life is a precious gift. God has given me the opportunity to reach so far personally and academically, he has showed me that he never has abandoned me and that he is also present in each of moments of my existence. Faith has guided me throughout the most difficult times. Jesus has established the path to eternal life. I tried to follow the commandments and I pray so God can guide my steps and allow me the opportunity to reach my dreams.
5) What experiences in your life would illustrate your perspective on service to others?
I have always tried to be helpful either at my home, school and any other situation that have come across. I do not like the indifference towards problems of other people. I believe that we all have moral responsibilities among each other. I truly believe that we can sin in both ways by committing wrong actions but also when we do not act in a diligent way when we must do so. When I have participated in different volunteer opportunities I have done it with love and diligence. I tried to give the best of me and show that someone really cares for them. I believe that one of the God commandments “You shall love your neighbor as yourself” invites us to serve. (only 750 Characters)
