Now that I have stopped shaking a little, I must share our news. My 16-year old son is a very hard working, motivated kid. He is number 1 in his junior class, and tries to do the things that he thinks will help him get into a great college, etc. He wants to be a physician.
He applied for an internship at the University of Illinois College of Medicine a couple of months ago. The medical school has four internships for the reasearch teams this year. He was competing against thousands of other students, including college students. The application and interview process was quite extensive, and even included my wife and I. The college selected Jordan to join the team that is researching prostrate cancer. This is an actual research position and not one that has him getting coffee for the scientists on the team, etc. I’m not sure Jordan fully understands the impact this will have on his college and scholarship applications.
I’m all puffy chested and swelled up like a toad today. This is a very special time in our house, and I just had to share.
WOW. Thats an accomplishment. Way to go Jordan.
