On this day in April of 2008 my individual work became yours and everyone else's, so I am placing a dedication into this time capsule to stake a claim on my individual hope. It is my time capsule here, but the website is a message in a bottle I am throwing hopefully out onto the ocean from my obscure island to you. It is a love letter to my teachers, beginning with Mrs. Kawasaki and Mrs. Fukumitsu in elementary school, and continuing to some of the greatest professors in the world. WikiPremed represents nearly twenty years of work to make an excellent undergraduate education available to any person in the world. I have been working on these projects since the very beginning of the Internet. The work as a whole owes a great deal to the esteemed science professors of Georgia Tech and Stanford University and the English Department of Stanford University. Most of all it owes itself to the encouragement, support, and love of my family.
I hope, visiting here in some future, you have found something so far beyond my individual effort that you must dig to find anything solely authored by me here. At present the work represents by far the best preparation for the Medical College Admissions Test in any form anywhere, and in its current form, an excellent place for Advanced Placement enrichment as well. I hope people find the goals of the project worthwhile and its methods promising enough that they will collaborate with me. The idea has its hold on me to create a form of undergraduate equivalency based on small group study, a large number of Advanced Placement exams, and a thesis. If graduate and professional schools recognized such a degree, it could become a path for future doctors to medical school from anywhere in the world.

I hope this website makes science education more unified and more accessible for you. I would be happy if my work helps you in your learning and achievement.
