My name is Jiwan Tiwana and I was born and raised in India. My family and I moved to America in 1997. I am the middle child and surrounded by two sisters. Being the only boy in the family continues to be challenging task due to my culture. My parents want to give my siblings and I the best chance to succeed in life. They want to give us the opportunities they never had as children. That is one thing I have always realized and has been a motivational factor in my educational career. I graduated from Caruthers High School in 2008. I graduated with honors and top 10 in my class. After High School I attended Fresno State majoring in Bio-Physiology and Anatomy with emphasis in pre-med. Recently I went abroad to study in China for a year for cultural experience. I can say I know how to speak 4 different languages; Chinese, English, Punjabi, and Hindi. Now back in the America, I will be attending CSU Bakersfield next fall and continuing my goal toward becoming a doctor.
