ADMINISTERING care to people from all walks of life is 19-year-old, medical student, Malissa Shaw’s passion and dream.
Although it takes time and great commitment to provide medical care to other people, the young medical student is ready to do anything humanly possible to change someone’s life for the better.
“I aspire to be a renowned General Surgeon, to build and possess my very own general hospital,” said Shaw.
Her passion for medicine revolves around the love she has for humanity, not just science. While growing up, she found joy in helping people.
Today, Shaw is one step closer to her dream. She is a medical student at the Rajiv Gandhi University of Science & Technology.
Prior to that, she attended the St Stanislaus College from 2010 to 2015.
“I’m someone who has a positive attitude towards most things in life and I work every day to improve myself and my skills [and this] is part of maturing and becoming a better person,” said the aspiring caregiver.
People can suffer in so many ways. It is even more difficult to sit and talk about it. Personally, she knows how terrifying that can be.
She believes that there will be times in your life when you just want to give up but that’s never the answer, bad times will be over.
“There is always a light at the end of the tunnel and I know you might be sick of the tunnel but every day is a new chance and you will make it…never be afraid to speak out for yourself because at the end of the day only you can fight for you,” said the sentimental Shaw.
All she wishes for herself is to be alive and well so that she could become an expert in her field of study.
Aside from being a professional in the medical field, she also aspires to become President of Guyana sometime in the future.
Apart from high hopes for her career, she hopes to have a family of her own, be happy, content and to give her mother all she deserves.
Shaw still finds time to enjoy her youthful days by doing classical singing and dancing.
