韦德娱乐app下载地址中学毕业后的成功

Zonia Rueda '15
乌尔西纳大学2019

“在Solebury, 我学会了批判性地思考, which has helped me a lot in the biology major that I am currently pursuing. Solebury also taught me to persevere no matter what the circumstances — that has also helped me in my college career.“-Zonia

Zonia是乌尔西纳学院生物学专业的学生, where she was honored to take part in a program called the Fellowships in the Ursinus Transition to an Undergraduate Research Experience (FUTURE). 通过未来, Zonia conducted research on HIV and its effects on brain immune cells, and then presented her research at the University of Pennsylvania and at the State Capitol in Harrisburg. The experience inspired a love of biology research, which she’s currently pursuing through a summer internship at Amicus Therapeutics, a rare disease biotech pharmaceutical company in New Jersey. (She landed the internship through a 韦德娱乐app下载地址 connection.) Zonia is working in the cell biology and biochemistry department for research on CDKL5 deficiency disease.

At 韦德娱乐app下载地址, Zonia excelled in her science classes and in so much more. She helped create our Hispanic Student Association and our Red Cross Club, and she served as a class president for two years and co-president of our Community Council. “在Solebury, I learned that I should be able to speak about my perspectives on issues in a way that is respectful to others,Zonia说。. “I have carried this concept throughout my college career, especially with the different opinions that have risen in the past couple of years.” These skills have served her well as a Resident Advisor at Ursinus and as a Senior Fellow for Ursinus College 招生. Zonia wore similar hats at 韦德娱乐app下载地址 as a peer leader and school tour guide. She was also known for going out of her way to help others, including informally tutoring some of our Spanish students (Zonia is trilingual).

佐尼亚在索莱伯里的合唱队里变戏法似的唱歌, 跑越野, and performing in our theater program with all of the above. “Solebury was a place where I learned to balance both my academics and extracurricular activities, 就像我在乌尔西纳所做的那样,Zonia说.

“总的来说, 韦德娱乐app下载地址 was a place where I grew as a student and person, which has helped me become the person I am today. I love this place so much, and I am grateful I was able to attend for four years of high school.”
