Ryan Iverson, age 19, born in Ottawa, full-time student and medical office assistant.

Ryan Iverson is using his tiny amount of spare time to squeeze in some studying in a corner of the Place d\u2019Orl\u00e9ans Shopping Mall food court. His choice of studying accommodations is the result of a very busy schedule \u2014 he volunteers at a retirement home, works part-time at a walk-in clinic, and is a full time student studying medicine at OttawaU. He maximizes his time by stopping at the mall instead of going home.<\/p>\n

\u201cNot much of a social life right now,\u201d he laughed, \u201cbut it\u2019s all going to pay off one day, I\u2019m sure.\u201d<\/p>\n

When asked why he keeps such a frantic schedule, he said \u201cI guess my ultimate goal is to go into med school. More what I\u2019m looking for is the experience of being in a doctor\u2019s office, and being in that setting \u2014 seeing if it\u2019s what I want to do. Just watching how busy they all are there makes me say \u201cOh, I want to do that one day,\u201d but it also makes me say \u201cOh, I don\u2019t <\/em>want to do that one day.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cEverything I do I try to do it with passion. I\u2019d want someone to look at me and see that I\u2019m dedicated to what I do. I try to make the most of everything I can. I don\u2019t mean that I want to inspire other people to work harder, you know what I mean, like, \u2018cause I\u2019m inspired by other people working so hard, and other people getting perfect GPAs, so that is what I look up to.\u201d<\/p>\n

But for Ryan, he doesn\u2019t feel like he is obligated to push himself to extremes. \u201cWorking as hard as I can at what I do is something I really want<\/em> to do.\u201d<\/p>\n
