Decent - internship, 12 yr vocal musician, lots of volunteering, taught kids language, and more (don’t want to give away too much)

In my essay, I discussed my love for the medical field and how volunteering fostered this. I also talked about the summer internship I did where I researched a cancer receptor, which influenced me wanting to become an oncologist. I tied into HumEc by talking about how I’m interested in bioethics and how I would like to learn about cancer from a perspective of diet environmental factors, etc, not just a biological perspective.

I’m a female from CA, and I applied to HBHS.

Thanks!!
