“My ultimate goal is to become a nurse and work in a hospital. People of all different backgrounds need to go to the hospital on a daily basis. I believe my time in GCP will help me to better interact with and understand those who may not speak the same language as me because GCP has allowed me to gain awareness about the world and those who inhabit it. GCP has allowed me to better understand that despite the differences on the surface between people residing in different areas of the world, we are all united by the universal drives to succeed and find happiness through helping others.”
