I wish to be a part of the program to gain further experience in biomedical research and in presenting my research coherently and concisely. The mentorship and networking inherently in the program are invaluable, along with the lifelong friendships with other members of the program who will one day become significant figures in the scientific world.

This helps them find out what they want to do with their life with ease and brevity. The way it would make the transition and overall experience fast is by allowing students to get basic classes done in high school and making it unnecessary to wait years to apply to a college.

As an undeclared student at the University of West Georgia, taking this class has been able to aid me in gaining knowledge about the numerous resources that the university has to offer. Starting college was super rough and I never imagined that it would be this much of a transition. I thought because I was staying at home and not moving on campus that it would not be that big of a change, but everything in college works completely different than in high school. Most professors are not as focused on your success as teachers in high school were. They show up, lecture, give you your assignment, and it is your responsibility to get it all done on time.

I am ready for Wake Early College of Health & Sciences because I have what it takes to be the first generation in my family to attend college, and I am determined to get it done. One thing that I think prepares me for the early college setting is that I am the oldest child of three. Being the oldest child, I have higher responsibilities and expectations for myself and that my elders have for me. Some of these responsibilities are that I am responsible for my younger siblings, myself, and I'm responsible for being a good role model to my brother and sister. Another reason that I am prepared for the early college setting, academically and behaviorally, is because I am independent, mature, and focused.
