I got in to the Stanford Anesthesiology Program!

Hi, my name is Nailah and I am thrilled to have been accepted into the prestigious Stanford Anesthesiology Program this summer.

Since attending a Science Magnet School in elementary school, I have been passionate about STEM. I was fortunate enough to be accepted to the Greene Scholars STEM program and later into the Aspiring Scholars Directed Research Program (ASDRP), an elite program where I focused on conducting chemical synthesis for cancer treatment and anti-cancer compounds. This past year, I have also been participating in the Stanford Neuroscience Plus program which has exposed me to many different areas of medicine and provided mentorship in the field. I am also an active member of the NeuroPsych Club and the Mitty Med Club at my high school.

Beyond STEM, I am the Founder and President of the first-ever French Culture Club at my high school, a leader within our Theater Tech program and I have been on the Honor Roll every year. I am also an artist and have contributed my works to the school's online magazine and the yearbook. I am currently collaborating with other club leaders at school to establish the first-ever Diversity Club Week, where we will highlight and celebrate the food, dance and culture of all of our culture clubs on campus.

I am excited to apply my leadership and STEM skills to the upcoming program at Stanford and to continue expanding my knowledge in the field of medicine. This program is a dream come true for me, as I aspire to pursue a career in anesthesiology. I realize that it's a rare opportunity to gain exposure to such a niche field while still in high school. I am honored to have been accepted and your support would be greatly appreciated.

In addition to attending the program, I will also be working as a Lifeguard to help pay for it and to save for college. As a result, I created this GoFundMe to help cover the cost of summer tuition and I hope I can count on your support.

Please note that my mom is listed as the "beneficiary" since GoFundMe requires a legal adult to accept the funds. However, she will ensure that all funds raised are solely appropriated for my tuition.

Thank you for considering my request.

Sincerely,

Nailah
