The following (emails) were written by members of the Medicine and Biosciences during the fifth day of the program. Some elements may have been removed for various reasons, but the text that remains is in the student's own words.
I liked today! it was very fun finishing up our reports and then doing a good job on them. i felt like i accomplished something worth while. this whole week gave me a new respect for scientists. their job is a tough one in which they dont't get a lot of recognition, which tells me that they do it out of pure enjoyment and dedication. I acually developed a deeper desire to know what i think i know. what i'm saying is i want to research things so that i'm sure of things that i have an idea about. the class was interesting and fun at times. thank you for the opportunity and experience to learn the things that many people will never know. my parents and their friends and my friends as well, are very impssed with the things i've learned. things like pharmacokinetics and Epidemiology are not every day common sense or knowledge. I feel more confident even in myself. because of the week that i just completed without giving up or slacking and the problems that i solved and tricks that i learned and picked up on, i feel that i can really do more than i even thought i could. It was a good week.
