Jeremiah Douglas

My name is Jeremiah Houston Douglas from Hamilton Southeastern High School in Fishers, Indiana. Throughout my time at Hamilton Southeastern High School, I have been heavily involved in the Hamilton Southeastern Performing Arts program, via the marching band, indoor percussion, various concert bands, and the pep band. I have prevailed in being trained on the vibraphone for four years, the bass drum for two years, and classically trained on the flute for seven years. Having done three seasons of flute and one season of vibraphone in the Hamilton Southeastern Marching Band program. Two seasons of vibraphone and two seasons of bass drum, including my current season of bass drum, in the Hamilton Southeastern Indoor Percussion program. Finally, having played the flute in the highest-accredited concert band, jazz band, symphony orchestra, and pep band at Hamilton Southeastern High School. In addition to my conversance with the Hamilton Southeastern Performing Arts program. I have also served on the Hamilton Southeastern Principal Advisory Council, the Hamilton Southeastern Superintendent's Advisory Council, the Hamilton Southeastern Safety Committee, the Hamilton Southeastern School of Leadership, and the Hamilton Southeastern High School Improvement Committee. Ultimately, since the tender age of six years old, I have aspired to become a surgeon, and over the years, through academics and private research, I have refined that to the specialty of neurosurgical oncology. I firmly believe and have developed the aspiration of becoming a neurosurgical oncologist due to this field of study providing a vision of impossible challenges and consistent, positive uncertainty, which I am attracted to because of the lack of confirmed knowledge within the field. To me, that brings inspiration to not simply discover something new and become famous, because that is not the ambition; however, instead, to ultimately educate my peers and myself further on what is deemed impossible, and how that uncertainty is not anything truly impossible or uncertain. Therefore, I will attend Indiana University Bloomington in the fall semester of 2025 to receive my Bachelor of Science degree on a pre-medical track in the field of study of neuroscience. After doing so, I am moving into medical school and completing a surgical residency in neurosurgery, with a fellowship in oncology. With the true aspiration of opening my own oncology firm in the near future.
