The last time it snowed in Houston was probably the most memorable day of my life – I received “the call” from Baylor Med. Almost exactly a year later, so much has changed. I’ve started this voyage. I’ve met some incredible people. And I finally got to see 12 days (if you have to ask, […]
21 was a great age for me. I got into my dream medical school, earned a lot of money in the stock market, made some new friends at Baylor Med, etc. Thanks to everyone for their wishes!
I’ve been in my closet for most of the afternoon cleaning out my grade school and undergrad work in preparation for medical school. I came across several things which I had little reason to keep, but I wanted to still photograph them for the sake of memories. Among these was a composition I wrote in […]

It’s interesting to note that a year ago, General Motors’ public shares were being offered at over $16/share.
