"As a pediatrician, I want to convey to children that every one of them has a special place in the world and give them hope for their future as I have great hope for mine."
PORT ORANGE, FL, February 18, 2022 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Humans are social creatures, and society only works when we look out for each other's best interests. That's exactly what Isabella R. intends to do with her life. A 17-year old student at Arizona State University, Isabella plans to pursue a career in pediatrics as a way to help the most vulnerable among us.
"My life revolves around my community," she writes in the essay that won her the Anti-Aging and Regenerative Associates' Paying It Forward scholarship. "Whatever my community asks of me, I will do, as I want to help others enjoy a better life."
In the past and present, that mentality has led Isabella into services like tutoring, helping to grout an entire basement, watching and playing with autistic children while their grandmother shopped, running a three-day charity yard sale, and much more.
Isabella R. has seemingly always been a person who desires to achieve big goals. She graduated from high school at the age of 16, with full honors, making straight A's, all while obtaining both Associate of Science and Associate of Arts degrees. She currently studies Biochemistry (Medicinal Chemistry) at ASU's School of Molecular Sciences.
Though plans may change and she hasn't ruled out a career in teaching in higher education, Isabella's true passion is pediatrics. Specifically, she has a heart for children with special needs.
"As a pediatrician, I want to convey to children that every one of them has a special place in the world and give them hope for their future as I have great hope for mine," she told representatives of Anti-Aging and Regenerative Associates.
Isabella's dedication to helping others and her passion for service make her an ideal candidate for the $2,500 Paying It Forward Scholarship.
