The Wonderful Life Of Kyla Simone

Hola! I am Kyla. I am a sophomore at Harlan Community Academy. Go falcons! I'm fifteen years old. I like to shop, party and do makeup. I like to have a lot of fun. I'm very goofy and talkative. I'm a really open person and I'm not shy at all. I smile all day and I'm very outgoing. My favorite thing to do is to listen to music. I listen to a lot of  Tink, Dreezy, Chance The Rapper and Rich Homie Quan. My favorite song is Ran$ah-Triggas. My favorite color is neon pink and I wear something pink almost everyday. I have one older sister and two little brothers. Me and my sister are very close and she is one of the most important people in my life. My whole family is very close and we believe that their is nothing more important than family. I love going out with my friends and travelling with them.

I have big goals for my self. I want to attend Tennessee State University and major in nursing.  After I complete my nursing degree  I would like to join the United States Navy to show my appreciation to the many people who risk their lives to protect our country. I have always been interested in the Military because many people in my family have participated in the rigorous jobs required by the military. I strongly believe that the people who protect our country deserve the best care. While I'm in the navy I want to study neuroscience or bio-medical engineering. I decided to join the Health Science program because I think that it will help me learn about different health science topics that will be  beneficial to my career as a nurse. Also I want to learn more about the human body and how it works. My health challenges also encouraged me to join the program. 

Health Science Explorers LOVE Chicago!

(2014 ASM Health Science Explores Participants)

Hey guys!~Chicago is very exciting in the summer...not only for our program, but for our city as a whole. This summer HSE (Health Science Explorers) traveled to some great places! Like Loyola University, Northwestern University, The Planetarium, a Farmers Market and the list goes on!

At our trip to Loyola University, HSE had the privilege to view the beautiful campus, meet wonderful inspiring students who lived on campus, and also chatted with the admissions office about scholarships, requirements, and programs avalible for incoming freshman. We loved Loyola, also HSE had the oppurtunity to examine human femurs bones which was pretty cool. Dr.Grauer, a forensic anthropologist, was our host for the bone lab.

"While learning about their personal health they are also tackling how nutrition, disease, and socio-economics can affect their families and communities"

The  quote from above explains the our trip to the farmers market. HSE met and interviewed more than fifteen farmers from Michigan, Wisconsin and Illinois. HSE asked questions like what made you become a farmer? Is farming a hobby? Can the food bought here be sold possibly in stores?  One Farmer explained the reason he participates in farmers market , because he love to make people happy, and also he only want to provide the BEST Foods for his customers. That was exactly what he did. Some foods sold there at the farmers markets are avalible in stores. Majority of the venders where family oriented . Visiting the Farmers market inspired hse to expand their brands , and hopefully one day one of our teens may join!

All Moi!

Hi, my name is Reanna, and I am 16 years of age, and I attend Muchin College Prep. This upcoming year, I will be a junior, and that scares me. I don't have an exact college that I want to attend, but I have a few: Illinois State University, Johns Hopkins University, Stanford University, Northwestern University, University of Florida, and I would like to find a college in California. I am a very active person, but I can be very shy. I would say that I am an introvert because I keep to myself, and I do not go up to people and just start talking. Something special about myself would be me being a flexible person. My favorite sport would have to be cheerleading. I have been a cheerleader since I was seven, and it is something I really enjoy. Some adjectives that would describe me are athletic, shy, talkative at times, very picky, and creative. One word that most people describe me as is picky. I don't like the normal things others like. I would say that I am different from others, and I would like to live an extraordinary life. Two of my favorite subject would be science and English. I love English because I feel the way one speaks shows character, and I just find the way of speaking interesting and easy. On the other hand, science is something that really sticks out to me because I want to be a cardiothoracic or general surgeon. I want to be a doctor because I love to help others and learning about the human body is something that I want to peruse. Something that brought me into this program is it deals with science and health which is what my career will deal with, and I will also be able to expand my knowledge on science.
