Hello, I’m Jose, and I’m a 14 year old sophomore at the NYCISchool. I love to skateboard as well as hang out with my friends and family. I am very interested in medicine and am looking into possibly being a doctor in the future, but I have yet to decide. I have been at hospitals many times for various different reasons either physical injuries and quite a few times for being sick. I am also interested in learning about diseases because I am interested in how they mutate and how they can be cured. I love watching movies about diseases, such as a movie I recently saw, Outbreak (1995), which I loved because I got to learn about Ebola via researching the movie and other things afterward. This is an important issue to me because people die from infectious disease every day, and I’d like to help prevent that.
