Hello! And welcome to my blog!

My name's Edgar Guzman, I'm nineteen years old and I live in Caguas, Puerto Rico. I am currently doing a biology major at the University of Puerto Rico, as well as conducting research at the Comprehensive Cancer Center of the UPR Medical Sciences Campus. As a pre-medical student, it's no surprise I have lots of high aspirations and goals in life. However, even though I'm more of a science kind of guy, I'm also very into geography, traveling and history. 

10 places I've traveled to:

U.S. Capitol - Washington D.C.

Santa Monica Pier - Los Angeles, California

*Columbia University - New York City

Curaçao, Dutch Antilles

Six Flags New England - Massachusetts

Aruba, Dutch Antilles

Yale University - New Haven, Connecticut

Culebra, Puerto Rico

Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

St. Thomas, U.S.Virgin Islands

*Columbia University - New York City

Last year I had the amazing opportunity of getting accepted at an internship at Columbia University's College of Physicians and Surgeons. I spent six whole weeks taking medical school level courses, going to conferences related to medicine and public health, and doing clinical rotations in different hospitals throughout Manhattan. However, the most exciting part was the fact that I spent my whole summer living and breathing New York City. Although I've been to the city plenty of times before, it was always for a limited amount of time, so this internship gave me the opportunity to become independent and self-sufficient. I was able to learn about the people, culture and diversity of New York, which made me fall in love with the city. I really wouldn't trade my experiences last summer for anything in the world. I could definitely see myself living here in the future.
