Nayshawn's Story

My passion is medicine. My passion for medicine began at a young age. Growing up, I always wanted to become a doctor. However, knowing what kind of doctor I wanted to be was always the question. My family thought it was a great occupation to pursue and encouraged me to continue doing well in school academically. I love science and math so much, and medicine has much to do with both subjects.

Having the opportunity to attend the UConn Pre-College Summer Program will help me pursue my passion even more by being able to see and potentially try hands on activities that many doctors and other health specialists may encounter everyday. This will get me one step closer to being able to decide what path I would like to take in the medical field. Attending this program will also give me the opportunity to ask professors in depth questions and to learn new things.

A Note from Mr. Dwyer, Nayshawn's Counselor

Nayshawn is a gentle young man who has consistently demonstrated academic excellence. He easily gets along with his peers and adults and is a pleasure to have in class. Nayshawn is self-motivated and highly likely to succeed. UConn Pre-College Summer Program will allow Nayshawn to receive support in pursuing his passion and opportunities to further explore the medical field. It will also provide Nayshawn the opportunity to get a head start on planning and preparing for college. This program will inspire Nayshawn to continue striving towards his future goals despite limited resources.

Uconn Summer Program Experience

I was introduced to many intelligent students as well as professors that made my six day stay at Uconn fun and memorable; from the first day when I met my roommate to the last night when we went to the talent/comedy show. My most memorable moment at Uconn was waking up every day to an alarm and walking to class. This was memorable for me because I felt completely independent and I also started to memorize my way around some parts of the campus. Some of the fun activities we did at Uconn were making solar cells, rock climbing, making tie dye shirts, and making flashlights. None of this would be possible without my donors, wishbone, and everyone else who helped so thank you guys again!!
