I graduated college in june and have decided that I want to be a dr. Help me plan my life until it's time to apply!! I had a 3.35 gpa as a bio major..

research w/ project- 6 mos
TA at a middle school camp - 1 summer
nursery volunteer at a church - 3 months
teaching internship at a middle school - 3 months
hospital volunteer - 3 months
What I'm doing this summer:
Caretaker for my grandparents (clean, drive them places, help with meds, etc), i'm gonna get certified as a caretaker too.
volunteer at a free health clinic (started back in april, right now i go about 12-20 hrs/week)
taking a monitor tech class for potential job in a hospital
Fall plans:
retake chem/physics, maybe ochem too, and english at jc
perhaps take an EMT class..(it would help me do more at the clinic)
I think I'm going to be a HIV hotline volunteer
