Welcome New Elizabeth Fellows!
We are so excited to welcome 11 new sophomore fellows and 3
new junior fellows into the Elizabeth Edwards Foundation. Read on to learn a little bit about each
fellow’s unique skills and goals.
Tianna Alston (Sophomore)- “I see myself as a determined
student. I hope that after finishing
high school, I will be able to continue on to college. Since I was five years old, I have wanted to be
a nurse. I love the thought of being
able to help people in need.”
Mohammadi Amena (Sophomore)- “I am a hardworking
student. I always look for opportunities
that are valuable for my future. I want
to go to college because it will create a better future for me. I admire Malala Yousafzai, the girl who stood
up for education and was shot by the Taliban.
It makes me realize how important education is for all people.”
Carlos Bautista (Sophomore)- “As a student, I would describe
myself as a curious, motivated, trustworthy, and a hardworking pupil that
wishes to contribute to his school and community by doing his best. I enjoy learning because I am very curious,
and enjoy learning concepts and principles that make the world function.”
Kerri Brodie (Sophomore)- “I love learning new things in
areas that interest me like science, interior design, and child development. I
would like to attend NC A&T on a full scholarship majoring in Child
Development and Early Education. I learn
best by working hard and learning from my mistakes”
Sophia Caron (Sophomore)- “I really hope to go to NC State
and eventually become an FBI agent. I
like the idea of helping the government and protecting people around me. The two people that I admire most are my mom
and grandmother. My mom always tells me
to give one hundred percent and never give up.”
Zahra Fatima (Sophomore)- “I hope to be a doctor when I grow
up, because I am really interested in biology.
I also want to be a doctor, because I like to help people. I think this field will make me happy.”
Ahyanna Griffith (Junior)- “As a student, I am enthusiastic,
out-going, and a good learner. I love
learning because knowledge can give you experience to craft the person who you
want to become. One day, I do hope to go
to college and study medicine.”
Ayesha Jaleel (Junior)- “I feel if I want to be successful,
it’s important to constantly be making new goals, and setting the goals higher
by working hard. This summer, I would
like to volunteer at REX hospital and work with people who are suffering from
cancer.”
Kadiejatu Johnson (Sophomore)- “In my future career, I want
to work with computers and do graphic design.
I developed my love of learning from my dad. I definitely hope to go to college to advance
my potential for working in the real world.”
Ty’sean Judd (Sophomore)- “The idea of expanding my mind on
a daily basis inspires me. Chemistry is
by far my favorite subject. My first
choice for a career is play basketball, but I also think about doing something
in chemistry.”
Ketsia Liteli (Junior)- “Ever since I was little, I found
myself fascinated with the jobs of doctors and nurses. Hospitals were seen as these busy centers
brimming with people who, I thought, had an unimaginable amount of
knowledge. If I was going to be
somebody, it would be somebody in the medical field.”
Samantha Messie (Sophomore)- “I do my best both inside and
outside of school to ensure that I understand and can apply what I have been
taught. I do all I do in school just to
achieve two goals: successfully finish college and begin a profession in which
I excel and enjoy myself.”
Juan Reyes Ortiz (Sophomore)-“When I grow up, I want to be a
professional soccer player. I would also
like to study in the fields of mythology and history. I love learning about mythological creatures
and gods as well as ancient civilizations.”
Cristian Tompkins (Sophomore)- “Right now I’m striving to be
a nurse in a pediatric ward. My children
development class has made me realize my love for small children. Every kid deserves a good childhood and I
want to give that to a sick child.”
