Alisan's Story
Life
Life is a series of obstacles. As you approach and solve them, you become stronger. Sometimes you fail, but you try again...and sometimes you succeed. Success does not come without sacrifices. After High School, I went to UC Berkeley. I did the five year plan and wandered. I didn't know what I wanted to do with my life. I spent a lot of time singing with the Jazz Choir, I double majored in Psychology and Physiology. I graduated in 1982, and moved to Boston. I had no job, and only $100.00 in my pocket. I got a job as a waitress, on Martha's Vineyard...an island off of Cape Cod. What a miserable job! On my days off, I would take the Ferry and Bus to Boston to look for a job. I found a job at the Presigious Beth Isreal Hospital...one of the teaching hospitals for Harvard Medical School, as a research assistant.

t, and introduced me to the world of Hematology. Four years later, I was starting Medical School at George Washington University. Due to the outrageous cost ($20,000 a year), I joined the Army on an Army Scholarship. I graduated from Medical School in 1990, and was sent for internship, residency and fellowship to San Antonio, Texas at Brooke Army Medical Center, Fort Sam Houston. I did my internship/Residency in Internal Medicine, and went on to Fellowship in Hematology and Oncology. I was then assigned to Fort Bliss in El Paso, TX with William Beaumont Army Medical Center. I finished my obligation with the Army in June 1999 ( a full 9 years.) I was a Major when I got out. I found a great, but extremely stressful job out near our Nation's Capitol (in Northern Virginia). During my fellowship, I had two little girls, Audrey (now 14) and Nicole (now 13). Unfortunately, my marraige suffered, and I am now a single parent. My kids are great and keep me sane.
