I am incredibly humbled by the humanitarians that have dedicated themselves to the spirit of the camp. The camp left me with a multifaceted collection of themes, rather than a singular impression that encapsulates my entire experience. Each factor stems from short snippets of interactions I had during the trip. Combined, they solidified my aspiration to pursue a career that combines the role of a social activist and a healthcare provider: a doctor. Specifically, I choose to pursue the path to become a physician because this trip made me realize that practicing medicine transcends cultural, class, and linguistic barriers.
