My name is Magdiel J. Torres Gonzalez. I’m a first year natural science student. Some of my interests as a science student are to prepare myself to enter med school after I graduate from my bachelor. One of my principal goals is to become a doctor so I can help athletes with their body health. Also I want to help children to grow up in a healthy way.
