Tell us a little bit about yourself and your plans for college.

My name is Samuel Green and I am a senior in high school, I am 18 years old and I plan on going to the University of Illinois Champaign-Urbana. My plans of study after my first year are to either go into biochemistry or biology because both of these will allow me to get into medical school. I have always wanted to get into the medical field ever since I was young, I was unsure on where my heart truly was between engineering and the medical field but my dad was a big advocate for me to go into the medical field as it is also what my mother had gotten into. My dad had plans on going back to school to be a therapist before he passed because he wanted to help people and him passing is what really made we want to get into the medical field because I wanted to be able to do something that could help people because I always enjoyed it because he would always have us as a family help other people whenever they needed it and that characteristic rubbed off onto me.
