Tya's Story

My passion is business.

I discovered my passion for business when I had to choose the career I wanted to have when I get older. I knew that I wanted to have a career that involved my favorite subject, math, so I decided to look up some careers that had to do with math. I decided to try something new, and go into business. I found financial analyst, which involves both math and business. This made me realize that I wanted to do this for my career. My passion for business grew from there.

Duke Summer Academy for High School Students will help me pursue my passion for business by taking a business class. The business class will teach me the fundamentals of a business, and give me more background information about financial analysts.

A Note from Mr. Dodds, Tya's Teacher

Tyá is the type of scholar that simultaneously pushes the scholars around her to achieve more and supports them in any way she can. Tyá's passion for learning and natural zest make her the ideal student. She is renown throughout our school for the constant instances in which she nearly spills from her chair when stretching as high as she possibly can to ask or answer a teachers question. Tyá is a textbook example of a life-long learner and I know this program would be an amazing chance for her to get her foot into the world of financial analyzing by giving her the tools to continue learning once she is back in Hartford.

My Experience at Duke Summer Academy for High School Students

Hello donors! Once again, I would like to say thank you for helping me attend to my summer program at Duke University! It was a great experience as I never stayed overnight on a college campus. I met so many different people from different backgrounds, it was amazing! The course I took was just as I imagined but even better. I would do it all over again if I had the choice! Once again, thank you for helping me attend Duke Summer Academy for High School Students of summer 2017.
