BIOGRAPHY


Sitting in the pilot's seat of a Conair Waterbomber

My name is Christine Tran, I am currently a student in the process of graduating at Rick Hansen Secondary School in Abbotsford. I plan on pursuing my studies after high school at the University of British Columbia. I am driven to excel academically and go above and beyond in the various aspects of life. I am bilingual in both English and Vietnamese, and have attained the Diplôme d'études en langue française, an internationally recognized certification conducted by the French Embassy that demonstrates my proficiency in the French language. I aspire to gain a position within an organization offering growth potential based on hard work and dedication. I am a science enthusiast and an ardent fan of the cinematic arts and music. Furthermore, I enjoy dancing, painting, and literature. My passion lies within the field of medical care; the applied science of diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of disease. It encompasses a variety of health care practices in which are evolved to maintain and restore health by the prevention and treatment of illness in human beings. Not only am I interested in the biological science behind the human body, but I am compassionate in regards to saving lives and caring for the ill. When I'm not doing the daily, mundane, tasks that life throws at me, I enjoy volunteering at different wards at the Abbotsford Regional Hospital. Whether it's shadowing a nurse, or interacting with patients that are ill. I strive to become a medical practitioner specializing in the field of pediatrics, the medical care of infants and children. I am selfless to a fault, putting the needs of others before my own, a quality suited for a physician. I believe that in order to achieve what you truly desire, you must have the initiative and ability to focus and discipline yourself to persevere at the most critical of times.
