Cohort: 2
Where are you from?
Chicago.
What is your favorite field of study/topic?
Biology.
What is something you would like people to know about you as a student?
I’m very interested in the biology of people and plants. Once I set my eyes on something, I aim to achieve it. I don’t like to fail at anything.
What does being a part of NPEP mean to you?
Being a part of NPEP means the world to me. It gives me an opportunity to learn a skill where I can be productive once I get out.
What course has had the biggest impact on you and why?
Well, the course that would have had the biggest impact on me is biology. I say “would have” because I didn’t get a chance to take the course.
What is your favorite book or article that you have read in your NPEP classes?
Surprisingly, it was a book in my philosophy course, Plato’s “The Last Days of Socrates.” I guess I like to debate a little but after reading Plato I wanted to read more Socrates.
What assignment (paper, project, homework) have you found the most rewarding?
Chemistry, because I had a chance to learn a little bit more about biology. I did my paper about GMOs (genetically modified organisms).
