I want to uncover secrets by figuring out the who, what, where and why of medical science. It is a match between my two primary interests: to be a doctor and a detective. - Brielle |
Fifteen-year-old Brielle is a bright, energetic, vivacious student with a strong commitment to academics. “The Young Scholars Program has affected me tremendously this year,” says Brielle. “It helped me in the process of applying to private school, offered me many opportunities to learn, helped me meet new friends from all over the world, and provided academic support. But the major impact the Young Scholars Program has made with me is providing me with an educational adviser to help me make decisions about my future.”
Brielle is just finishing a successful year at a private school in Northern Virginia, to which she transferred from public school in Washington, DC, after receiving a generous scholarship from the school. This past year she was elected Freshman Co-Head of the social committee and she continues to hone her singing skills by taking private vocal lessons. She has also had the opportunity to continue another love: acting. Academically, Brielle excels in science and dreams of becoming a forensic scientist. “I want to uncover secrets by figuring out the who, what, where and why of medical science,” says Brielle. “It is a match between my two primary interests: to be a doctor and a detective.”
This summer Brielle will sharpen her skills both academically and creatively. She will begin her summer by taking a class to help solidify her foundation in math and she will also be taking a musical theater class with award-winning actress Karen Morrow at UCLA.
