Me, Myself, and I

Dear Global Media Narrators,


My name is Farrakh Riaz and I am a senior Integrated Neuroscience Major at Binghamton University. I am expecting to graduate at the end of this semester and attend medical school in the upcoming fall. My passion to enter the field of medicine began because of the contrast I saw between the health-care facilities and services in the United States and Pakistan. I was born in a village in a north-eastern part of Pakistan. I immigrated along with my family of eight to the United States when I was five years old. I have visited Pakistan numerous times since then. Most recently, I just spent three weeks in Pakistan during the first three weeks of this month.


I have been following current events daily for the past few years and this course will connect a lot of dots and provide me with a lot of insight. What these insights are, I do not know yet, but I am excited to find out.


Here are a few pictures from my Pakistan trip:
