Global Awareness: I will take classes to learn new languages and cultures. Courses containing foreign literature and movies are how I plan to learn more about different cultures. I plan on joining a variety of clubs that will increase my exposure to various areas around the world which are in medical need. I also plan on studying abroad to obtain a wider global view of the health field.
Original Inquiry: I am currently actively searching for research opportunities. I had a couple research opportunities in high school which I loved, and I plan on taking advantage of the resources here to expand my scientific and professional knowledge. I know the Neuroscience department allows a 3-course hour research project, and I plan on using that. I also am planning on using the summer for internship opportunities to gain more exposure to a professional setting. I will shadow medical professionals to learn more about the various careers I could potentially go into.
Academic Enrichment: I am majoring in Neuroscience as a way to learn more about the brain, which I love, while staying on the premed track for medical school. I am also minoring in economics to develop more financial knowledge. I am also have an interest in business, and I want to see where I want to take that. I know that finance and medicine go hand-in-hand more often than presumed. Finally, I am planning on taking several screenwriting classes to grow my artistic and creative side and increase my love for movies.
Leadership Development: I plan on helping lead a service club to help citizens around the local community. I also love teaching people stuff. I want to try and be a TA in a science lab, or tutor kids in a subject. I also want to help lead a fun club, like in movies or in dancing. This is probably the most vague GOAL I have because I want to be a leader in clubs that I currently might not know about. It will definitely change over time.
Service Engagement: What will not change is community service. As said before, I plan on leading a service club. I definitely planning on helping impoverished citizens around my community, but I want to have a service trip where I go to a needy area somewhere in the world and help them out. I also plan on serving many hours at hospitals and clinics around the community.
