Adela's Story

My passion is medicine.

Discovering my passion for medicine was pretty easy for me. I knew since I was in third grade I wanted to be in the medical field. I kept jumping from pediatrician to oncologist to gynecologist to physician assistant, but no matter what job I was interested in, they were always related to medicine and health. Medicine is a like a puzzle, waiting to be solved. I personally love puzzles and love helping people at the same time. In order to succeed in the medical field, I am going to need all the knowledge that I can soak up.

By attending the Brown Summer Program, I will be able on a college campus, around people that will encourage me to study twice as hard as I am already. This entire experience will get me one step closer to my dream of being a college graduate, and I will be able to say that I attended somewhere as prestigious as Brown. I hope that I learn as much as I can, meet new people who will help me with choices about my future, and give me a higher chance to getting into a decent college.

A Note from Mr. Flynn, Adela's Coach

Adela works hard at school, family, sports and work. On top of this, she takes science and med career programs in her free time. She loves medicine and is inquisitive and insightful. She is perfect for this program. She continuously represents her school and community well, and is eager for new experiences that will improve her chances of success. She definitely should be part of this program. I can't think of a more deserving student.

Post Experience - Summer@Brown 2017

Thank you to everyone who had donated and pushed me to do my best. Wishbone has given me the best opportunity anyone can have. My two weeks of staying and studying at Brown University was such an astonishing experience. It was so amazing that I cannot wait to actually go to a four college. Those two weeks really showed how important time management is. The exposure that Summer@Brown has really showed me that juggling work, school, homework and social life is pretty much a handful but it also taught me that there are priorities that have to get done in the matter of time of day so I have to choose wisely. The course itself was great. The professor treated us as actual college students; long lectures, group projects, homework every night but due days later, it was pretty intense but I got a hang of it. I've met some really great people from out of state and out of the country that I still today keep in contact today. Overall my experience there was unforgettable. Can't wait for the college life!

Summer @ Brown

This coming summer I will be participating in the course of The Great Diseases: Cancer, Heart Disease, Diabetes, and Infection that Brown is offering. I'm so thrilled to be a part of it because I can't wait to grasp as much information about medicine that I can at my age.

I am so eager to meet new people and learn so much from them. I believe that participating in this program will increase my knowledge and help me make a clearer path for my future of medicine.
