Undergraduate / 'Attending summits' - Georgetown Summer School Program [8]

So i have to write a 300 word essay on..How will this program help me accomplish my
academic goals? Advice would be amazing!

Georgetown University has been at the top of my list for as long as I can remember, and I believe that attending the Summer College can give me a taste of what Georgetown could be like for me. If accepted, it would be an amazing opportunity for me to have a glimpse of college life, and to be among the brightest students from around the world. I have attended summits- People to People Leadership Summit, National Youth Leadership Forum in Medicine- where I was fortunate enough to be around people whose interests were similar to mine. At these summits, I found my inner voice, but more importantly, I learned how to take initiative and to follow my dreams. Because these programs lasted for only a couple of weeks, I hope Georgetown can give me a different perspective. By attending a program as extensive and intense as Georgetown's, I would build upon my skills, while being surrounded by others who are as enthusiastic about education as I am.

If accepted, it would be my chance to pursue my studies in a field I feel strongly about, which in my case is biology. To me, biology is the link between the mystery and certainty of life. And even though there have been an infinite number of discoveries, there are many more mysteries to solve. I am in AP Biology at school, and I found that I am most interested in oncology. And with summer approaching, I do not want to lose my knowledge. Conversely, I want to build upon it. At Georgetown, I would work diligently and ardently, because I would be able to dedicate myself to the subject of my choice. With the prospects of becoming a doctor, I hope Georgetown's Summer College can broaden my horizons, and help me turn my aspirations into my future.
