32/365

Name: Anna Logan
Three words to describe yourself: energetic, outgoing, smart
Anna was born in Thomaston, GA and she has lived there her whole life. She likes the town with a "population of 9,411" because "it's always home". She wants to go to medical school and become a cardiothoracic surgeon. She likes the adrenaline rush and "helping people in general". Her inspiration for choosing this pathway came from her dad's career as a chiropractor. He sometimes refers clients to surgeons and Anna had the opportunity to shadow a few doctors and liked the cardiothoracic one the best. She would like to go to Bowman Gray School of Medicine in Wake Forest, but she also likes U. Alabama at Birmingham. Shes in the Kappa Alpha Theta sorority at UGA and says "it's the best decision ever" but "rush is the spawn of the devil . . . because it's social torture". She says that she would go through rush over again, however, because she's made some life-long friends. Her goal right now is to graduate from medical school, establish her own clinic outside of the hospital, and work with Doctors Without Borders in Africa; an organization that helps needy people in other countries to have access to medical care and treatment. Also, she "definitely wants to get married" but "kids are optional". Anna says that she isn't "a planner by choice" and her mom has made her have a set pathway in life. She likes this fact because she knows exactly what she wants in life and how to go about achieving it, whereas other students "have no idea what they want to do".
