Julia’s Goals and Aspirations: “My most important aspiration is to be a role model for others. I have been privileged to meet so many inspirational people in my life that now I hope I can inspire at least one person to realize that anything is possible when you have an open mind and a desire to succeed.”
Julia’s Ten Year Plan: “In ten years, I see myself as a college graduate working in a medical research setting. I hope to develop new medications or treatments for today’s incurable diseases.”
Someone Julia Admires: “I look up to my parents more than anybody. They both have showed me that your perspective on a situation is essential. It’s not about the actual circumstances of a situation but how you let the circumstances affect you.”
If Julia Could Be President of Any Charity: “I would like to be the president of the Make-A-Wish Foundation. I think it is a great charity because it provides great experiences to children with life-threatening illnesses. Children are blessed with innate hopefulness, and the charity sustains that hope in children who face very serious challenges.”
