My name is Khushi Patel, and I am a senior at South Central High School participating in the Brody School of Medicine Research Program. I have been a volunteer at the ECU Health Hospital since my freshmen year and a member of the Ronald McDonald House Teen Ambassador Program since my sophomore year. I serve as a second-time ambassador for the Health Sciences Academy. I am a graduate of the Teen Leadership Institute. I have been elected as president for the National Honor Society and the National Spanish Honor Society. I am co-vice president for National Math and Science Honor Society and service coordinator for Key Club. My plan after high school is to major in nursing and apply to the Physician Assistant school.
