 My name is Ruben Sanchez and I'm from Liberty High School. I will be attending the University of Oregon in the fall. I will become a trauma surgeon. I will attend OSU Honors College in the fall and I will become a physician. And I will become a psychologist. And I will become again a college nurse. And I will become a registered nurse. Family practitioner. A public health educator. This event is one of the highlights of my year. It gives me energy to see the brilliant, diverse, and hard-working young adults who will be joining us as we take care of patients in the future. More than three-quarters of our Kaiser scholars this year are from diverse backgrounds, more than half are bilingual. And what's exciting for us is the people that you end up serving just a few years after your college education. You're going to help represent who they are and what they want for their health as well. The scholarship shows me that the sky's the limit for my ability and that I need to take the chance and opportunity to advance my life in others. It is a motivation for me to keep fighting the fight for a better future ahead of me. Congratulations to you all and thank you. I believe in each and every one of us to stand up stronger every time we're knocked down, whether it be from hardship, unexpected disasters, or seemingly endless homework. My advice for you as you embark upon your educational career, you have to pull from within yourself to say that I really want this. No matter how hard it is I'm gonna stick it out and I want this. You can do this. You've already figured out how to study, how to get good grades. There is a person at the end of everything we do. You have the privilege and you have the responsibility of someone's life being entrusted to you. And you got to get it right. Don't be afraid to ask for help early and often. So I'm going to share with you just three simple affirmations that I hope you will commit to memory and call upon when you need it. I am a Kaiser Permanente scholar and I can do this. I am a Kaiser Permanente scholar and I get to do this. I am a Kaiser Permanente scholar and I am loved.
