Kelcey's Story

My first passion was actually to be a detective, but I quickly realized I was more in love with the science behind it. By the age of 8, I was in love with science. I enjoyed the experiments and problem solving, especially because they were big problems that needed answers. When I started volunteering, I realized how many careers there were related to science as well.

When I was 12 my little cousin Xavier was born a premature baby. He wasn't able to eat by himself and was constantly in and out of the hospital. Although scary for my family, I was able to see first hand how the doctors made a difference. I want to attend Boston University this summer so I can continue to build on that inspiration. I want to dive deeper into science and see how I can help others, while also having a college experience.

A Note from Mr. Hicks, Kelcey's Mentor

Kelcey has worked hard to gain opportunities for herself, both in school and outside of school. In the past 2 years, Kelcey has pushed herself to get involved with New Haven area programming, particularly free programming through Yale. She is constantly seeking out new opportunities to expand her horizons, despite the restraints of limited resources.

Kelcey is tenacious and does not quit until she achieves her goals. I have seen this in numerous ways, but most importantly as a student.
Her pursuit of an excellent education so that she can achieve her goals of becoming a doctor is relentless. She would thrive in the Boston University program where she would be pushed through college level academics and collaboration with like-minded high school students. She is thoughtful and intelligent, and never hesitates to bring her unique insights and opinions to a conversation. She would be an excellent candidate for this program.
