Bria's Story

My passion is medicine.

In the 7th grade, I started high school at Fishers Island School. Realizing that my future was coming around the corner, I began to think about what profession I would be interested in when I grew up. I was taking a life science course at the time and fell in love with learning about medicine and human anatomy. Two years later, I decided to leave Fishers Island for a local school for its extraordinary biomedical science program. Coming to Science and Technology Magnet High School has allowed me to expand my passion for medicine and human anatomy. I take human body systems which teaches me about communication between all the body systems and their functions. The year before I took principles of biomedical science that taught me about diabetes, sickle cell anemia, and forensics. This program has allowed me to discover my passion for medicine, human anatomy, and biomedical science.
