This program could also help me gain knowledge about other science classes I’m thinking about taking such as, AP Biology, AP Chemistry and Environmental science. I could also get a glimpse of what working in a “hospital” is like, working with the same tools used by professionals in hospitals and lab

However, I think the most important thing that happened to me that week was the mentoring I received.

Upon my arrival at NIH as a volunteer when I was 17, I noted the immense lack of opportunities for high school students interested in a profession in the clinical research realm. I took the initiative to express these concerns to my supervisor and at that very moment I was assigned to the creation of a proposal of a Medical Discovery Program, which seeks to engage students early and expose them to the different career opportunities at the Clinical Center in the world’s largest medical research facility. Our proposal was successfully approved by the Director of the Clinical Center at NIH. Executing such an incredible project was a difficult task but was most definitely a truly exceptional journey. Our program had a phenomenal first year; our students had the opportunity to connect with renowned clinician scientists and collaborate with 75% of departments at the Clinical Center and our second year program is now underway.

My previous science experiences actually began before I even realized they were happening. As the younger sibling of a “science nerd” (her words), I was brought along to listen to various lectures. I was around for the final presentations at the end of a week of science camp and I would listen to her talk about the demonstrations and experiments during the long drive home. The whole time, I was soaking in all the information. I was so excited to be old enough to attend the some of the PROMISE Life Science Discovery Programs and thrilled to be able to spend a week during the summer at science camp at USD.
