This summer I had the honor of partaking in a summer institute at St. Josephs College. For two weeks in July, I took part in one psychology class and one forensic science class. The first week, I took the forensics class where I learned so much about the importance of forensic science from solving crimes and putting criminals behind bars. In the forensics class, I learned a variety of things such as creating fake blood, fingerprinting, looking at hair and fibers, footprints, blood splatter and much, much more. It was an amazing experience because it allowed me to understand firsthand the different aspects of a crime scene and how detectives use forensic science as evidence to solve a crime.

In the second week I took the psychology class where I studied the different aspects of the human mind and behavior as well as different disorders. In the psychology class we had the chance of going to the Brooklyn Museum to expand our studies on the human mind. This class allowed me to open my mind and see that many things humans believe about disorders is not always true; there are many, many disorders out there, and the human mind operates in many different ways. Though this experience was mostly educational, it allowed me to bond with people that I didn't know about common topics we all had interest and different opinions on. I am very grateful for the experience I gained from going here.

Thank you to those who donated the money to get me where I am at now. Wishbone has offered me a great opportunity that not many get, and I can't wait to go to Saint Joseph's and gain the knowledge I need to move forward. I appreciate those who have gotten me to where I am now, and I'm so thankful for the generosity of those who helped me to pursue this opportunity.
