“In New Mexico, vehicles have a huge impact on our culture. Classic cars are given from parent to child in an attempt to show the child more about the past. A restoration project car takes lots of patience, determination, dedication and the discipline to save and invest wisely for a great return later. I believe that humans are very similar to automobiles... the human body is like a classic car; the mind is the computer and engine... As I plan on becoming a psychiatrist, I will be like a technician. When the patient is having trouble with his or her mind, it is like when a car’s engine is not working correctly.”
