A cell is a small space in which people who do something that goes against the law are held indefinitely in some cases.

I would go camping.
Are you a leader or follower?
I think I am both. In the field of medicine, as a student, you need to act as a leader and take initiative on certain occasions. However, you also have to be a constant learner, so in that aspect, I would be a follower.
Best/memorable moment?
When I finished the curriculum of subjects for my medical degree and knew that I would be entering the rotating internship.
