I want to help people who are unable to help themselves and save lives, day after day. I plan to graduate Medical school and complete a residency to become a licensed OB/GYN. To become a small animal veterinarian, as well as an author on the side. Becoming a physician to study neurological conditions such as MS, Alzheimer’s, Dementia, etc. Continue a career in the US Navy as potentially a marine, SEAL, or another way to serve or after the minimum 5 years of service find a job in the private sector in the analytics department. After graduating high school with my CNA license and EKG certification, I plan to attend a university where I will get my bachelor's degree. Then, I hope to attend a PA (Physician’s Assistant) program and specialize in neonatology. Although I’m not exactly sure of my career path, my main long term career goal is being able to help people and develop ideas that impact future generations. Go to a community college and earn my AA Degree and transfer Petro-chemical engineer. To make a positive impact in this world with my knowledge of math and science Work in Silicon Valley Leave a positive impact on society through my career field to help people. As of right now, I'm not completely sure what I want to do as a career, let alone have long-term goals. I know I love the sciences and math, but I'm still trying to determine how to correlate that with a good career choice as those topics are very broad.

Briefly describe your expectations for the Sunshine State Scholar Conference. What do you hope to gain from the program?

Make connections with higher education institutions Meet other students with similar interests as mine I hope to have a deeper understanding of the different fields that I can pursue in the future, as well as learn more in the STEM subjects. I look forward to the speakers teaching us about the ins and outs of the STEM fields. I believe this will help solidify my career aspirations for the future. Thank you so much for the opportunity! I am hoping that the conference will provide me with an opportunity to build upon career interests that I may have in the STEM field such as computer engineering and engineering fields in general.

I would like to connect with talented students from across Florida and meet with college representatives that offer majors in which I am interested. To see what makes the colleges of Florida different and also to meet other students across Florida. I hope to be able to talk to peers that are prepared and interested in attending colleges. I hope to be able to talk to local colleges and get a better understanding of what they have to offer, especially since no one in my family went to college in the US (they did go to college in Brazil, however) so the process is unfamiliar to us. I also hope to acquire an internship from one of the companies that will be attending the conference. I expect to meet with many different students from different backgrounds and learn about the programs that Florida’s in state institutions have to offer. I hope to gain a better understanding of the programs here in Florida that cater to my career interests. My expectations are to gain some knowledge regarding the opportunities that the different colleges in the state of Florida offer to those students who decide to study in-state rather than abroad. I hope that I'm not only able to teach my fellow scholars, but I also hope that I can learn from them and learn new methods of problem solving. I also hope I can learn more about the college admissions process. I expect to learn a lot about STEM opportunities and learn about the colleges present and the opportunities available at each institution. I hope to gain a lot of information about the colleges and STEM opportunities in Florida. Meet with colleges Explore higher educational opportunities and form lasting bonds with other scholars. I hope to gain hands on experience in the world of STEM and to meet others who are interested in the same areas of studies as me. I expect that I’ll meet new people, and maybe even make new friends. I also expect that the STEM activity that will occur might give me a better insight into what I would like to do for a major, as I am currently undecided. Meet students with similar achievements and interests as my own - Learn more about in-state universities and what they have to offer for STEM students - Participate in team activities that simulate real-life scenarios At the conference, I would like to participate in collaborative exercises to reach important conclusions about current issues in the scientific community. Still, I hope the activities remain feasible in the sense that students can bring their perspectives and opinions without feeling incompetent. Additionally, I hope to gain inspiration and more excitement to work in the science field for its pure content (rather than the schools we attend, the salaries we make, etc.). I wish to obtain knowledge in cutting edge fields and make long lasting friendships there. The Sunshine State Scholar Conference will provide me an opportunity to connect with other brilliant students around the state through the think-tank challenge. Also, I am looking forward to meeting representatives from colleges around the state of Florida and discussing the programs they offer. I am excited to meet with professionals and leaders in the field of STEM as well! I hope to gain more insight into what Florida Universities have to offer in terms of their Co-Op opportunities, Study Abroad policies, and what their Biomedical (or something similar) Major entails work-wise. I have no idea of what to expect, but I hope to learn more about educational opportunities like internships and about colleges. I am a little nervous about the Think Tank activity. I am very excited for the sunshine state scholar conference as it will provide me with such a valuable opportunity to meet like-minded STEM-focused students and form connections that have the potential to persist into our futures. Of course, that is in addition to the great platform the conference will provide for meeting with representatives from many Florida colleges and universities, and to discuss how my future goals can be achieved with them.
