As a recipient of the Big Bang Theory scholarship,
I was lucky enough to be invited onto the set.
It was a really fun experience.
I got to see a lot of things about Hollywood
that you see in the movies.
I got to see the cast act out their scenes,
I got to see the way that shots are filmed,
and I was actually able to meet my donors,
which included the main cast of The Big Bang Theory.
My name is Jonathan Shi
I'm a fourth-year biology major,
and I'm a Big Bang Theory Scholarship recipient.
Meeting them was a bit surreal.
I've never met so many celebrities all at once.
And I was actually a bit nervous.
I think a part of me was hoping
that they would invite me onto the show.
The Big Bang Theory Scholarship
is a scholarship designed for low-income students
pursuing a career in STEM.
When I found out that I got the scholarship,
I had an email from UCLA.
It ended up being a scholarship email
saying that I was a recipient.
So I immediately took a break and called my mom.
We both were ecstatic that I was able to attend UCLA.
I knew I wanted to be in medicine
when I saw the health disparities that we see today.
And I wanted to be part of the change.
I really want to give back to my community.
I think I'm going to start off with what I'm good at.
The mobile clinic project is
something where we are trying to connect
clients to a continuum of care.
Breaking down these barriers,
breaking down these stigmas,
and attempting to integrate clients
back into something that they should already have.
Health isn't a luxury.
The scholarship allowed me to solidify my decision
to coming to UCLA,
because I didn't have to face the financial barriers.
I just want to say a big thank you
to the Big Bang Theory Scholarship.
Ahhh one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight,
U, C, L, A, UCLA fight, fight, fight!
