Aldina's Story

My passion for forensic science interests me so much that I have tried to find as many possible ways to be exposed to this field. What makes me so excited about this field is that there are always mysteries that need to be solved. Just knowing that this job can save someone’s innocent life from going to prison is such an amazing thing. I would like to use all the equipment and be familiar with the tools forensic scientists use in the lab. It would be amazing if I had an opportunity to fulfill my dreams.

I come from a big family. I feel as though I need to set a great example for my siblings. I want to be that child that every family member will be proud of. I believe school is the key to success and I take every opportunity I can to reach my goals. I have very high expectations for myself, and my parents do as well and I don’t want to let them down. My parents have always pushed me to be a good student and I think that has shaped who I am today.

If I attend this program, I will be able to obtain the full college experience. I will be getting the chance to be able to take science courses through workshops and lecture halls. It will prove to colleges that I am capable of taking the next step after high school and challenging myself in a college environment — while exposing me to the field I am passionate about.

I want to be that student that college admissions look at and say, “This girl has not wasted any of her time and we should give her a chance.” I believe this program will do great things for me.
