In my last year of medical school, I am very grateful for the support I have received from the Jefferies Family Scholarship, which has helped me immensely both personally and academically. Not many accomplish special things in life without assistance, support, and love from others, and I intend to 'pass the torch' as one of my wise mentors has taught me. I look forward with enthusiasm to contributing to this fund down the road and helping other aspiring students.
