But I also knew that sacrificing familiarity meant education and awareness, which I hope to share [with the] community.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>Arangorin chose the University of San Francisco because she says it has a great faculty, academics, and diverse student body. She joined several clubs and volunteered in her school\u2019s university ministry\u2019s St. Vincent de Paul Meal Project, which helps feed San Francisco\u2019s homeless. <\/p>\n<p>Arangorin interned at the San Francisco General Hospital as well as California Pacific Medical Center\u2019s Mother Baby Unit. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cMoving to a diverse city like San Francisco and attending a private school exposed me to different people with different stories. Combining psychology, which made me understand how people and the world works, with my passion in helping the youth, I aim to become a medical professional that would someday lead a generation,\u201d she said. \u201cLike my university motto states, \u2018Change the world from here!\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Arangorin is the daughter of Manolo and Norbe Arangorin. <strong>(PR)<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A 2012 graduate of Kagman High School just graduated from the University of San Francisco&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":28,"featured_media":244316,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[12],"tags":[15096,419,67,10582],"class_list":["post-244313","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-campus-life","tag-asian-studies","tag-kagman-high-school","tag-people","tag-usf"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/244313","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/28"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=244313"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/244313\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/244316"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=244313"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=244313"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=244313"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
