I'm a current 12th grade student who is willing to put in the work to become a pharmacologist. I want to use efficiency in the field of science to create cures and vaccines for diseases through discoveries made in the human body. I have a track record of showing great passion, and therefore, influencing those around me in a constructive manner.
