My father was a wonderful and devoted parent who supported me every step of the way—both emotionally and financially—throughout my college years. He was always there to help me with my studies and encouraged me to pursue my dream of earning my doctorate. Although he passed before he could see me graduate from medical school, I felt his presence with me on that day. His love, guidance, and belief in me will stay with me forever.
