It was more damaged than I think he realized or if he did know then he never shared with us.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But he knew. He told my Aunt Sue the very last Christmas we shared with him –- so in 2007 -– he told my Aunt Sue that he thought this Christmas was going to be his last Christmas.

And I miss him every single day.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the thing that makes me angry is that I don’t get to have my dad there when I walk down the aisle one day. I don’t get to have my dad there when I have my firstborn one day. And that’s the only thing that really makes me angry. Everything else I have made sense with and I have understood. And I’ve appreciated everything that’s come my way since then.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the only thing I can get mad about now is him not being there in the future.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>This story was reported by Gina Scialabba\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

But when you live in the far reaches of Northern California, that is exactly what you must do. I sometimes sit with my wife when she does her dialysis treatment. We are lucky because we live only about 10 minutes away from the clinic in Redding. But every morning, the “remotes,” people who live on farms or in rural towns, climb into the mini-vans and come from Trinity County to the west; Mount Shasta, Weed, and Alturas to the North; and some from as far away as Susanville, near Reno.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>They get up in the middle of the night, travel several hours, sometimes in bad weather, sit for treatment for three hours, and go home. Then in two days they do it all over again. When the weather turns, or there is an accident which closes the interstate, the problem compounds. Sometimes, they can’t get to Redding, or worse yet, they get here and can’t get home. Packing a lunch and three days of meds is standard fare for most. You’ve got to think ahead. Have a plan, a place to stay until the roads open. The dialysis center has some funds to help with a motel or a meal, but not much. Not for everyone, and not for more than a day.\u003c!--more-->\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some are lucky to have family nearby, but not the others. They have to fend for themselves, and some are in wheelchairs or otherwise can’t get around. Better have some money for a room. And with most of them on Medi-Cal that’s not easy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The social worker tells me that missing a treatment or two can also be extremely dangerous. Fluid overload, shortness of breath, nausea. Even death if you miss too many. It’s a bad deal. Some consider moving to Redding to be closer to the clinic or stay near family. Others can’t afford to move.

After being shot, I was told that I would never walk again, or that if I did, I'd have to walk with a cane. Being that I had to stay in bed for three months straight, not being able to walk or hold my own baby or do anything for myself, I became depressed. I didn't want anything to do with life. Mentally, I was not here. I couldn't believe what was going on. I was angry, confused and hurt.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We have a medicine man that comes to our Native community, once a month. He does ceremonies, sweat lodges, talking circles. He did a ceremony called Wiping of the Tears. I didn't want to participate in this ceremony, but a lot of people from the Native American community told me that I should because it would help me.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignright\">As I prayed and as these songs were being sung, I could feel my spirit coming back.\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>A Wiping of the Tears ceremony is where you call upon your ancestors and those who have passed before you to come and help heal you -- and take away your pain. As the medicine man sings these songs, these sacred songs, these ceremonial songs, you pray, and you ask for their guidance, their strength, their love, and their help.\u003c!--more-->\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

My mother continued to support my dream, but it seemed impossible. That changed when I found a program that introduced disadvantaged students to medicine through mentoring and visits to our regional health centers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I interacted with physicians I could relate to. They came from low-income, minority backgrounds and were passionate about giving back. I realized that if they could do it, so could I. I excelled academically \u003c!--more-->and graduated high school as valedictorian. I was even accepted to my dream school, Johns Hopkins University, on a scholarship. There, I met world-renowned physicians, traveled to Honduras and mentored Latino youth. My students, many of whom were undocumented, gang-affiliated, or from low-income households, reminded me of myself.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I met students like my brothers, who were capable but never attended college because they felt compelled to provide for their families. Many children of low-income families have this mindset. The only way to change it is to help them believe they can pursue their goals and to show them how. That’s what mentors from difficult backgrounds who have achieved their dreams can do. When we inspire and challenge our young people of color, they achieve much more than they’ve imagined.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Today, I work at the \u003ca href=\"http://www.sjcms.org/\" target=\"_blank\">San Joaquin Medical Society in Stockton\u003c/a>, a job that includes facilitating the very program that got me started. I will apply to medical school this summer.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I hope to return to the San Joaquin Valley to practice medicine and to help more families trust their doctors, rather than fear them; to deliver quality care -- regardless of income, or language, or the struggles they’ve faced.
