Lorren's Biography♥ (Wonderful little Lorren)

Wonderful little lorren!! 

Heyy wonderful people this is Lorren here! Also known as lil bit, lolo, lola, and lady bug. I am currently a Sophomore and a Emerald (dancing & flag) at Morgan Park High School. I am 15 years old. I enjoy dancing, singing, watching TV, shopping, hanging out with my friends, listening to music, making snacks, playing games, and helping people. If my friends were to describe me they would describe me as a sweet, short, small, funny, helpful, loud, inspirational, cool, talkative, helpful, open-minded, and brave person. I like to meet new people and try new things. I usually use social media daily to share ideas and post pictures of the wonderful moments and memories. 

I have participated in many activities and clubs. So far in my life I took Ballet, Tap dancing, Jazz, Hip-Hop, Yearbook, Web coding, Karate, Science program, majorettes, flag . I am currently in the health science program because I like to investigate, learn new things outside of school and apply it to my work, and everyday situations. I really like this program because I learn about many things that is not talked about in school. I know more about the body system then what I knew before I entered the program. I plan on applying the knowledge from the program to my future career.

This program is very fun, in the past we have taken many enjoyable & educational trips. We took trips to places like the Shedd Aquarium, Chicago Cultural Center, & Northwestern downtown campus. We also had many scientists and doctors come talk to us about their wonderful careers and teach us about the relationship between the body and their job. I am really recommending this program to young teens that like to learn new things or like science. 





Visit From a Physical Therapist!

                 Earlier this summer the Health Science Explores were visited by a rather interesting physical therapist, Dr. Craig Hensley. When he first got into the lab room on the east side of the second floor, he showed us some facts about how to follow the path on becoming a physical therapist. What seemed to be a presentation that lasted a little under an hour turned out to be a experience changer and an eye opener to some of these teens. Within Dr. Hensley's presentation of the life of a PT (physical therapist), he told us about his adventures to Ghana and how this career field can work with the common Joe, war veterans, and babies to professional athletes. 

            
     Not only did he show us the fun of being a therapist, but the struggles of actually becoming a PT. On one of his slides there was a visual map of all the schooling he went through and HOLY COW, it was a lot! Dr. Hensley currently works at The University of Chicago Medicine and when he can, he likes to travel so he can help and teach people.  By the end of his presentation he let us volunteer to try out his cool gadgets and learn some procedures for a common PT check-up. At the end of the day, all of us were left with a little more knowledge in our noggins.
