NSF Fellowship

Lately, I've been working on applying for a National Science Foundation Fellowship. This is a pretty prestigious program which gives research grants to winning applicants. At first I was very pessimistic about my chances, but I'm feeling a bit better now. I am getting written recommendations from some really good sources, and I'm working out all of the details for the three essays I have to write. The first one is a personal statement, and I'm working on tying my research purpose into my past experiences with Rwanda and the Sudan hospital. Once I'm finished with that, I'll move on to the other two, which describe my previous research experiences and my plans for my current project.
