This two week summer program truly changed my life in just that short amount of time. It not only taught me hundreds of things I had no clue about, but also prepared me for a much more diverse, independent environment on a college campus. Every morning, waking up early for lectures were a pain. However, I appreciate all those people who gave their time and energy to try to teach us what they know. I actually learned much more than I expected to. I loved having the privellege to visit labs and to learn about all the new, futuristic ideas sc sci-art ientists today are coming up with and persuing. It was also an honor to be spoken to by the dean of medicine here at the hospital of UCLA and Victoria Vesna. I’m very grateful to have been under the guidance of such brilliant people. Other than my education here at UCLA, I very much enjoyed the social life and my awesome counselors. They were truly amazing, really fun, and were always there for me, whether it was for laughs or help. I’ll miss them: Dougal, Brent, Angelica, and even Varun. The kids in the program were also the best I could have asked for. I regret sleeping so late at nights and dozing off during lectures; I really need to work on my sleeping habits. I’m happy to announce, however, that my procrastination habits have improved and that I handled my work load pretty wisely. This experience most definitely changed me for the better and I will be able to apply what I learned throughout my life, whether it be in school or in the real world.
