Three words to describe yourself: emotional, sweet, adventurousAlicia was born in Jamaica and lived there with her dad until she was twelve. She went to boarding school and hated it because it was too strict, so she moved to Atlanta to live with her mom. Alicia says the transition was difficult because she was foreign and the "culture was completely different" and it was hard for her to make friends. UCLA was her number one choice for school, but she did not want to pay out-of-state tuition, so she plans on attending their medical school. Alicia wants to become a plastic surgeon because "self-confidence is important . . . and if you can help people feel better about themselves, the world will be a better place". Eventually, she wants to open a hospital in Jamaica that is run by American doctors because she does not like they way in which Jamaican doctors practice medicine. Family has become the most important thing in her life especially because her dad passed away recently. She tries to make the most out of seeing her family because "they may not be here tomorrow".
