“Honestly, I’ve had such a good experience with the school’s science department and I chose nursing because of my passion for biology and helping others. Dr. Gatz, being my AP Biology teacher, definitely inspired me to choose a major involving some sort of medicine and science, and so I decided to choose nursing at Pace University. They have a great program and a beautiful campus, and I’m very excited to start my journey into nursing there. During my time at Pat-Med, I’ve learned a lot about accepting yourself and others and I think it’s a lesson that everyone needs to apply to their lives after high school. I am so thankful for my teachers and friends that will always play an important role in my life.”
