Know Myiah Personally
With a mother named Angela Davis , you can only imagine the strong unyielding impact this caring , resilient woman could have on her young daughter . Though my mother obtained her infamous name through marriage , she represents a strong , powerful black woman , such as the iconic woman who has made that name famous .
My mother endured a harsh time of illness while raising my brother and me for duration , lasting the majority of the time I have been alive , 18 long years of pain , unanswered questions , and doctor ’ s reassuring her that there was no problem . In times of extreme pain , harsh criticism , professional disbelief , abrupt career changes , and the young impressionable minds of children that needed to be nurtured and guided , my mother persevered , remained a dependable person who never gave up .
Watching my mother deal with such unbearable pain , resulting in the removal of a 10 pound mass that had been growing behind her intestine for 18 years , instilled in me the drive to stay strong , dedicated , and kind in every aspect of my life . It was hard to see this beautiful , spiritual woman , struggle with pain for so long , that I have developed a yearning to want to take people out of pain , if but for a moment , so they may be able to enjoy their lives to the fullest with the people they love around them .
A career in medicine will help me to achieve this longing desire to take physically hurting people out of pain , to better their lives and potentially our communities . Like my mother , I stay strong when people depend on me , I am dedicated to my work , my education , my love for chemistry , and have kind heart that will do anything to help the people in my community .
