Tiana's Story

My passion is chemistry.

My passion for chemistry began in 8th grade. At first, I didn't believe I'd like the course, but when using chemicals to create hot/cold packs or make a substance blue immediately increased my passion for chemistry.

Attending UConn Pre-College Summer: Electrical Engineering with Chemistry will help explore my passion because maybe it will help me understand more complex ways of science. Also, exploring more about different sciences can change what type of science I want to study in college. This will benefit me because I can go back to school with knowledge of how the science of things creates the modern world.

A Note from Ms. Cazeau, Tiana's Counselor

"I believe that Tiana has a great personality and wants to do well at school. Her passion is writing, and she enjoys being part of the school community. She is a member of the cheerleading team at our school and is an avid writer.

I believe attending UConn Pre-College Summer: Electrical Engineering with Chemistry will allow her to gain a pre-college experience. This will be an opportunity she will enjoy and emerge from as a successful learner."

Best Experience @ The UCONN Pre-College Summer Program!

I am glad to say that I had the best experience at the University of Connecticut! It was more fun than I ever expected. The RA's made it feel like I was an actual college student, attending classes on my own, attending breakfast, lunch and dinner on my own, being able to do things around the campus like going to the gym, taking military training, and being able to attend workshops that educate you more about the college process, and challenging certain things that you would've never imagined you could challenge. The professors for my classes took the time to make sure that I understood my classwork/homework, and was able to show me machines that the college students who took certain majors were given access to. I thank all of my supporters for the best experience of my life. I have never been so happy and excited about life as I am now. Thank you!
