Right now we're at
Stanford school of medicine
for the Med school 101.
It's basically a program
for high schoolers
like me to learn about
the field of medicine,
and get firsthand experiences
from experts in the field.
We go into these sessions
for about an hour
and a half, two
hours, and we just
learn about something
specific that we
might be interested, or
maybe a new thing that we
haven't heard about.
And each one is
different, and it's
got its own challenges
or its own interests.
And it's also just a nice
opportunity to see the campus,
and see what having a
lecture is really about.
I think that allowing
them to experience
different things,
that everything
from doing a procedure
on a mannequin
that you would do in an
emergency medicine situation,
to actually looking at cell
biology and microbiology
in the same day, in
the same context.
Allowing them to discover things
that they didn't even think
would be interesting.
So it can be really an
eye opening experience.
I'm really interested
in science, especially
medical sciences.
It just sounded like a
really cool opportunity
just like brought in like my
general knowledge of anything
that I already knew about.
But then also maybe
learn something new,
or gain a new interest.
You never know when you've
changed somebody's life
with one of these interactions.
It happened for me.
It was the
interactions that I've
had with professors,
with classrooms that
brought me to where I am today.
It's a new experience for me.
I've never done this before,
learning about medicine
for a whole day,
and I was thinking
about becoming an emergency
doctor when I grew up,
and just seeing these
professionals break down
their experiences
in the actual field
has given me a lot
more insight as to what
I have to do to become
one when I grow up.
