Hi, I am an incoming student at West Coast University, attending the Los Angeles campus. I will start in the fall with a few more prerequisite classes, and after that, I will begin my nursing core classes.

As someone who wants to be a Doctor in the future this is something I think about a lot. I want to help everyone but realistically I can’t because the system is rigged to help those who have more money rather than people who need more help. If I don’t take the risk to help others can I truly...
