I got involved with this internship because it looked interesting, different, and a good way to get involved with science. I hope to get a different kind of experience from this class as opposed to sitting and listening to a professor lecture.

After I graduate I would like to go to medical school to become a dermatologist. In high school I went to a vocational school for Cosmetology and discovered that my interests were not so much in styling hair as they were in the science behind hair, nails, but especially in skin. One thing I especially enjoyed in my high school was the way we learned in my Cosmetology class. We did a lot of hands on activities and the class felt more personal because of the ways we interacted with each other and with our teachers; I think this class will be very similar to that style of learning. I hope that this class can get younger kids excited about science by combining it with their other interests, like learning about the science behind skin did for me!
