Despite his many trials at James Monroe, his desire to become a primary-care physician in his home neighborhood kept Ramos focused.
"Everyone says the neighborhood is so bad, but then they don't do anything about it," Ramos says. "I grew up angry at the community itself, the drug sellers, the killers, those are the people who are screwing everything up for everybody."
That anger, along with a gamut of other emotions, accompanied Ramos when he arrived at Harvard in September of 1993.
"It was very hard here academically, socially, physically with the army, a job and all of these other things to do, but the work was something that I had to do because of my financial situation," Ramos says.
Despite the hectic schedule, Ramos' work ethic and dedication made an impression on his fellow classmates and his professors.
