Juliann's Story

My passion is medicine.

When I was younger I was always fascinated by medicine. Just recently I suffered a tennis injury. Along with the injury came physical therapy, surgery and numerous doctor visits. Going through this process I became intrigued by my anesthesiologist and anesthesiology in general. I started reading more about this field and discovered that this is my dream profession. I am currently obtaining my clinical hours in a medical careers class to become a CNA. My teacher has told me on numerous occasions that she feels this is a natural path for me and I concur. It brings me joy to know that I can help someone in need, on a daily basis. Experiencing this fulfillment in such a short amount of time makes me excited to pursue my dream in the medical field.

A Note from Mrs. DiPace, Juliann's Teacher

Juliann is a great candidate for the UConn Pre-College Summer Program because it will give her a chance to experience education in a collegiate setting. Our school is an inner city school that does not have a college campus in town, so our students are disadvantaged because in order to have higher level educational experiences they must travel. Juliann will benefit from a prestigious program like this one as she will be able to study with students from around the world who share the same love for education and knowledge as she does. Juliann is a mature young lady that will appreciate and grow from this opportunity.
