In addition to her passion for tennis and skiing, Minali wants to be a cardiothoracic surgeon when she grows up (just like her mom).
I'm part of the Orthopedics + Sports Medicine Focus Program. I actually did the Emergency Medicine program at Wheaton when I was going into fifth grade, so I kind of know EXPLO. I like that you don't spend your entire day in the classroom here; it's a positive and conducive environment for learning.
My mom is actually a doctor, and she found these programs for me. My mom is my hero; she's always there for me and works really hard. I want to be just like her when I grow up.
I've only been here for a few days, because the Focus Programs start later. But it's already so clear that the people here as so nice. I got a little lost because this campus is a lot bigger than Wheaton's, but people helped me find my way. It's been so easy to make friends. I honestly just started talking to people and got to know them a little better, and then BOOM! Friends! Also, the food is really, really good.
I would describe myself as funny, sometimes serious, and smart. I like to think I'm smart. If I could have a superpower, I would be able to fly into space — and be able to breathe there — to explore the universe. And also to travel to other countries and meet new people.
