Graduation Speech : The Morehead State University Honors Program

I am an active member of my school and community. At school I feel that i've gained the respect of my peers being elected as Student Council representative for the past four years. I have also been elected the treasurer of the choir, and secretary of the band. I am part of the Ross Middle School bucket drumming group and have been casted as part of the school theatre’s annual play. After school on Wednesdays I assist Ms. Rullman in helping students with homework and enhancing study methods. I am currently participating in science olympiad and have in the past. I am also an anchor on the popular Good Morning Ross Middle School weekly news show. In addition, I have been a part of National Junior Honor Society which takes part in service projects

For this past week, I was an intern for Week 7 of the Harvard Medical School MEDscience Summer Program which offers a total of nine sessions of a week-long summer medical intensives for high school students. 13 students passionate about science, medicine, and healthcare come together from all over the country and even Canada to take advantage of the unique opportunities MEDscience offers. In general, there are very few medical programs in the country gear towards high school students whether it be because of age and education level, laws and hospital policy, or costs. Most of the medicine-related summer programs you can find for high school students are those in which you’d sit in a classroom all day and learn what you could have learned

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

In conclusion, knowing that ability without opportunity is nothing, the enrichment program would give me the opportunity I need to become what I want, and to empower me in all kinds of ways for the medical career I have chosen. I am ready to take the next step to accomplishing my dream of a career in medicine. To me, that step is attending the summer enrichment program at the Perelman school of

The medical field has always been very interesting to me. I find the way the human body works to be so intriguing and I jump at any chance to learn something new about it. Throughout my years in college I have had the time to focus on what I find most interesting and what direction I want to take my career in. While doing my research, I came across this program and I feel I would be a great fit. In this essay I will discuss the different traits I think are needed to be successful in this field and what skills I will be able to bring to this profession.

As I approached my senior year of high school, I was lucky enough to be accepted in the Teen Volunteer program at Upstate Medical University. During this four week long program, I was able to shadow medical professionals and broaden my understanding of the medical field. I was given the unique ability to experience the field that I want to go into before entering secondary education. Before this opportunity, I had always known that I wanted to help people in my future career; however, volunteering at this hospital solidified my desire to make a difference in the world through my future in medicine.

Welcome to Mt. Edgecumbe High School! Coming here, far away from home may be nerve-racking, but you just got accepted to one of the best schools in Alaska. Not everyone who applied got accepted, which is why you shouldn’t take this opportunity for granted. Attending MEHS, Mount Edgecumbe High School, is way different from being at home; for instance, you’re not living with your parents anymore and you have to teach yourself to be independent. This may seem frightening, but by coming here you can get a better education than from where you live, which is why I encourage you to stay all four years. Since you’re a MEHS Brave now, I am going to tell you some things that I personally like and dislike about MEHS. I will also tell you what to expect while you’re

On behalf of the entire Faculty I would like to welcome you to South Dakota State University; from now on you are Jackrabbits. You are walking in the footsteps of more than 75,000 alumni that have used the foundations gained here at State to develop successful careers as farmers and ranchers, teachers, entrepreneurs, State Governors, US Congress members, Nobel Prize winners, NFL players, professors and even University Presidents.

Medicine is a vast field. I have taken various health science classes over the past three years that have given me a brief overview of medicine and physiology. However, I believe that a summer experience at Summer Ventures would allow me to gain a better understanding of science by immersing myself in research and other learning opportunities. During my sophomore year of high school I took AP Psychology to complement my schedule. I wasn’t very serious about the course in the beginning, but over time I found myself becoming really intrigued with the subject. Moreover, I have been left with a lasting desire to learn more about the brain and the human body. An opportunity to do research on a topic such as the health sciences would not only provide

Hello my name is Joshua Simpson! I am 16 years old and I live in the Great Lake State! After graduating from SC4, I plan on transferring over to Wayne State University to earn my Bachelors of Science in Civil Engineering. When I am not in school, I play the piano and the organ. And I love to draw!! The reason why I am taking this class is because I want to learn about the body and how it works, and also to learn how I can have a healthy life. I hope to gain knowledge from this class about how I can live a healthy and happy life. If I were to chose 4 words to describe me I would chose, hardworking, determined, diligent, and silly! I picked this words because I am always hardworking and diligent in my studies. I am very determined to finish school

As we gather here today, I urge you to focus on the insecurity of property rights in the current rebellion, and how the lack of courts and impartial judges in New York city is an offense and it is our obligation to end it. Recent activity in our neighboring colonies, has shown rebellion against the crown. Some have tried revolting against our motherland England, the same motherland that has nourished us for all of these years. Some of my opponents have argued that a son must grow up and move away from his mother, but, while a son does need to grow up and move away, he must respect his mother as she supports him. We need to sustain England’s support to reinforce our resilient future. With that I say, New York City must reopen its courts to protect our property rights, stop rebellion, protect innocent people from mobbing, and to keep New York from reaching a state of Nature.

As a high school student, one of the biggest obstacles I have faced in exploring a career in medicine is a lack of shadowing opportunities. Becoming a doctor requires dedication, hard work, and knowledge gained by interacting directly with those already in the field. As far as dedication and hard work goes, my academic performance and extracurricular activities show my commitment to this career path. Alongside participation in the school's math and science teams, I have taken AP courses in Calculus, Chemistry, Biology and Physics, all of which are relevant to medicine. But beyond school, I have also continued my pursuit of medicine by volunteering at a local hospital. For the past four years, I have volunteered over the summer and after-school,

As a future graduate of Enumclaw High School I have looked forward to continuing my education for a long time. Since I have been unsure as to what career field to head into, I feel that the next step in betting myself would be to attend a college to get my Associate’s Degree as a stepping stone for additional degrees and learning. Attending Green River College will be an encouraging experience to encounter. Through going to school I will be able to become more independent and enjoy flourishing into a new chapter of life. Students who are just out of high school should continue their education because our community is in need of responsible and independent individuals. College is a good place for students to find out who they are and how they can better their community with the skills they already have. With those skills college can help these students grow and increase the impact of their reach and improve the community around each of us.

The program provides individualized research experiences to medical students (30-45 yearly), undergraduates (15-20 yearly), and disadvantaged high school students (30-40 yearly) and interacts with K-12 teachers largely from Arizona. The programs organize, supervise, mentor, and obtain funding for the multilevel trainees in the full spectrum of biomedical research throughout the University of Arizona Health Sciences and beyond and also conducts workshops for K-12 teachers.

I believe the summer is the perfect opportunity to jump into something new and challenging in order to develop one’s intellect and character. My ultimate career goal is to become a physician scientist and I feel using the summer to gain clinical skills earlier on will positively impact my career trajectory. During my undergraduate experience, I have not had many opportunities to conduct clinical research, but I am eager to learn new skills immerse myself in learning opportunities. Furthermore, an internship can provide me with unique networking opportunities to learn not only from my internship mentor, but other physician-scientists and interns as well. Currently, I do not have the place to gain such connections but I am eager to form them.
