This year I had the privilege of being accepted to attend the Student Diversity Leadership Conference in Nashville, Tennessee. From November 28 through December 1 over 1600 students participate in discussion groups and listen to speakers like Lisa Ling. This year’s theme was Harmony, Discord, and the Notes in between. This conference has changed me in so many ways. I 
have gained knowledge and experience which I would not have anywhere else. I now have a new approach to life. It expanded my understanding of compassion, empathy, justice, and acceptance, all of which help me become a better person and a better doctor.
