Get to know Shawn Love

• Educated to Heal
  "When I was in ninth grade, my high-school counselor informed me that in order to attend medical school and become a physician I had to first graduate from college. That very day, I ran home and told my mother I had to go to college; she cried as she told me she could never afford to send me. I went back and told my counselor, and she informed me that many colleges grant scholarships to students graduating at the top of their class. Thus, I aspired to graduate at the top of my class."
