Ashley's Story

My passion is math. Math has always and will forever be my favorite subject. There is just something so satisfying about being able to solve a problem. From doing sudoku puzzles to watching mystery TV shows, I get a rush of happiness after everything is done and solved; this is pretty much what math consists of. Sometimes I even catch myself doing math for fun. People would assume that I am a math genius because I am so passionate about it, but I would consider myself only slightly above average. I still make silly mistakes along the way, but that will never discourage me. It will instead encourage me to do better next time.

Attending Envision NYLF Medicine will help me pursue my passion for math because it plays an essential role in the medical field. I want to become a Nurse Practitioner (NP), and I feel like my passion for math will help get me there. While the program itself may not specifically focus on math, it does focus on my dream career. So to put it in other words, the summer program may not exactly reflect as much on the concept of math, but after passion comes experience. This program will give me the experience I need to pursue my career that my passion in math will potentially play a role in.
