I have a strong interest in medical science and helping others. I intend to study biology in college. The Harvard Medical School Summer Med-science program that I participated in during my sophomore summer further spurred my interest in medicine. I recently participated in an eleven day service trip to Kenya, Africa with Berwick Academy. We provided essential community services to four schools in the Amboseli region of Kenya including the delivery of food, water sanitation equipment, anti-malarial netting, feminine hygiene products and providing education around women's rights and life goals.
I cared for small animals including: gerbils, rabbits, hamsters and guinea pigs. I cleaned their cages and fed them. I also handled the animals to acclimate them to being touched and held by potential adopters.
