92/365

Name: Rebecca 
Three words to describe yourself: nice, determined, friendly
Rebecca was born and raised in Kennesaw, Georgia, living in the same house her whole life. When she was younger she wanted to move to another neighborhood five minutes down the street because most of her friends lived there, but otherwise she's fine where she lives. Most of her family is from Georgia, but she is twenty-five percent Spanish. At UGA, Rebecca is studying Biology and is Pre-Med. Her interest in the human body was sparked when she broke her arm in second grade, and she asked the nurses who attended to her how the IV worked. Taking Anatomy & Physiology in high school made Rebecca realize she wanted to pursue medicine as a career. She does not want to be a family practitioner or work on the brain or heart. When I interviewed her, she was leaving for Peru in two days  with Medlife to shadow doctors and do medical things that she wouldn't have the opportunity to do as an undergraduate in the States. When she is older, Rebecca would like to have a boy and a girl and "focus on family life," and Pinterest "sparks ideas such as wedding dreams and home decorations." She also likes the cold weather and wouldn't mind living in Utah "among all the snow people." She specified that she does not want to be a stay-at-home mom and would rather become a substitute teacher in order to be more involved in her children's lives. Rebecca also said she would like to do some volunteer work in Africa after she becomes a doctor. In her life, Rebecca said she was never really a part of community service, but since she joined a service sorority at UGA she's constantly doing a volunteer project such as mentoring a 5th grade girl. In her spare time, Rebecca likes to paint and do DIY projects to "take her mind off of things."
