I, Gabriella Fontinelle, was born and raised on the wonderful island of St. Lucia, Helen of the West, where I attained my best attributes of being diligent, generous, dynamic and confident. I have always dreamed of one day becoming a medical doctor and I aim greatly to achieve such. The memories of growing up in St.Lucia are indeed some of my best, from primary school recess times to secondary school sports activities. After successfully completing primary school, I was accepted into one of the St.Lucia’s four Comprehensive Secondary Schools (Vieux- Fort Comprehensive Secondary School). After completing three years at the Secondary, I choose to continue my two remaining years completing the science stream. The science stream consisted of subjects
At the age of ten, I read a book, “Gifted Hands” by Dr. Ben Carson, which inspired and begin to motivate my interest in pursuing medicine as a career because I could identify with his discovery of the joy of reading and his fascination with science. When I was 14, I had an epiphany at the doctor’s office. This event occurred a little after I had finished my final exams in school and the next step was to go to senior high school. But, I thought the preliminary chemistry and physics classes of junior high school were daunting and went on to convince myself that a career in medicine might not be right for me.
The medical field is a career path that brings about many options and opportunities of great value. The noble idea of being a doctor tends to cloud the diligent studying and precise training that is actually required for this career. I have wanted to become a doctor since a very young age, and now that the opportunity is here for the taking, I have fully researched what it takes to succeed in this profession and various specialties of the practice. The road to a medical degree is one filled with thousands of notes, years of schooling, and many stressful nights, but the reward is one incomparable to any other. Saving people’s lives on a day-to-day basis has been one of my dreams for as long as I can remember, so the rigorous curriculum
As a teenager, I read Doctors by Erich Segal and instantly, my love for medical sciences was born. Though, I was certain that I wanted to pursue a career in health sciences, dentistry was not always what I had in mind for a career. But it was my father’s dream and I decided to live it. In 2009, at the beginning of my first term in

I have a strong interest in Geisel School of Medicine because of Geisel’s unique learning environment and its various opportunities for me to contributing back to the community.
For the longest time, the medical field has grown as a part of me. I have been inspired to become a physician since my dad has been a long time patient of type II diabetes and kidney failure. This affected me because as a little girl, I would watch after his health by monitoring what he eats, giving him his insulin shots, and making sure he stays actively up on his feet. My father was the first to detect my natural interest in medicine and taking care of others, so he always kept me involved. What started off as projects in science fairs, turned into knowledge seeking state-wide competitions. My hobby of taking care of other people became a two hour volunteering shift at my high school nurses office. I started attending summer camps that were competitive to get into, and now my major in college is what I will use to get me where I need to be. Although I want to be an Emergency Room Physician, the general ‘doctor guideline’ includes but isn’t limited to common courses in the Bachelor of Sciences (i.e; Chemistry, Biological sciences, Physics, Human genetics). 4-year undergraduate degree program, an addition four years in medical school and a variation of 2-7 years in residency and fellowship (usually split 4:3 years or less)— this varies depending on specialization. Before the admissions of medical school, the Medical College Admissions Test (MCAT) must be taken and a high score must be achieved.
Rebecca Felton was born Rebecca Ann Latimer on June 10, 1835 to plantation owners Eleanor and Charles Latimer. Her parents quickly recognized the intelligence in their first born and began to hire tutors when she was merely five years old. She would go on to attend school at a private school located in a Presbyterian Church, and then on to college at Madison Female College. Upon her 1852 graduation, she earned three distinct honors in that she was one of few women to receive a classical liberal arts education, she maintained the highest grades, and was the youngest member of her class at only seventeen. She would marry the speaker from her college graduation ceremony, Dr. William H. Felton, in October of 1853.
I decided to pursue medicine while I was attending high school in Kolkata, India and fell in love with biology. I enjoyed engaging with people and developing meaningful relationships. I was looking for a path that would provide me with the skills to help others, both in my home country India and abroad. I felt that medicine can offer me an enriched career with the perfect balance of scientific challenge, intellectual stimulation and personal collection. Surrounded by the Himalayas in West Bengal, India, medical school further inspired my intellectual curiosity and cemented my professional identity.
Medicine has been a part of my life since as far as I could remember. The interest in this field sparked me at the moment of first experiences with the settings of a simple doctor’s office. Everything and anything that has to do with some sort of science always tends to attract my curiosity. In the seventeen years of my existence, although there is still more to learn, I believe the experiences and activities I have participated in make me a good candidate to become a successful general
She began her life of crime at the young age of eleven years old. She was killed by her own method of killing. She killed her husband and his six bodyguards all by herself. She is rumored to have killed between forty and two hundred and forty people. Her name is Griselda Blanco and she’s the “Cocaine Godmother” of Columbia and the United States. . Her power hungry personality, money-craving attitude, and ruthlessness led her to be arguably the greatest mafiosa of all time.
Next, science is the light that keeps us out of the dark ages. If science did not evolve, we would have many unanswered questions related to real life, die with terrifying diseases, and starve without hygiene and nutritious food. Because science has an impact on every aspect of our lives, I am eager in exploring this immense field of study and improve society through healthcare. When it comes to STEM field and school, on top of maintaining good GPA and grades, I devote my time well to my extracurriculars. Starting 7th grade, my passion for opting the medical field has strengthened due to my influential pediatrician. This enhanced drastically as I started gaining many volunteering and shadowing experiences throughout high school. As a freshman, I started taking advantage of majority of the opportunities around me like joining HOSA (Health Occupations Students Of America), Steminism, NHS, UPMC Passavant, Senior Living Facility. Covering a wide range of areas in healthcare-- volunteering/shadowing a geriatrician, pharmacist, nurse, surgeon and more-- solidified my aspiration. However, when I think about the medical field, clinical is not the only side. Research plays a huge role in medicine because without this, we would have inadequate knowledge about science and also would not have access to all these sophisticated treatments. Bayer School Scholars Program is a great opportunity for students like me to
Since high school I was mesmerized by the mystery of the human body. I always wanted to study the structure of the smallest cells. Nevertheless, my admiration for the noble work of doctors in helping people and relieving the suffering of others was one of my primary reasons for wanting to pursue a career in medicine. Being born in a family that has always encouraged utilizing our inherent gifts to the fullest extent, I have excelled in every academic venture I have undertaken. My ambition to become a competent physician culminated when I was selected in the top 200 among a 100,000 applicants to attend the best medical school in my country, the University of Khartoum. Oliver Twist always asks for
Au bord de l’eau shows Fauré’s delightful use of Sully Prudhomme’s expressive yet passive poetry to show one mans excitement and intentions for his love at the bank of a river. He weaves his beautiful melody alongside Prudhomme’s text sprinkling in some harmonic complexity. With his typical elegance and simplicity, Fauré changes between minor and major modes corresponding to different words; Major on words like “dream” and “adoration” and minor on words like “concern” and “quarrels.” The voice and piano often overlap throughout this beautiful French mélodie. Fauré’s chordal accompaniment lends a wistful feeling to the man in love. At the end of this tune, listen for the final major chord. This ensures the man who is uncertain in his love that through a changing world (represented by minor and major tonality switches), love will
Since early childhood, I have been fascinated by the complexity of the human body. The curiosity for its functioning and potential dysfunction led me to medical school and allowed me to successfully complete my training at the University of Brescia In Italy; far away from my family, fending for myself, learning a different language, living in a different culture and studying without help.
