This interview has been edited and condensed.
What do you do in this club?
The club is for people who want to be in the medical field and learn more about certain majors they could do. I ask them what they want to learn, like dentistry or nursing.
Why do you enjoy it?
I enjoy this club because it helped me learn more about what I want to do in the medical field. During the club, I realized that I wanted to be a nurse practitioner. We learn about anatomy and what it means to be a nurse.
Do you think your club gets enough recognition?
I believe so. Last year I put up flyers, and I had my vice president help me. I think we reached a good amount of people.
Do you think the Pace administration gives enough support to your club, or would you want more?
I believe they do, especially Ms. Ransom. I believe this year we’re going do a good job.
How often do you think about your club? Are you devoted?
This year I want to put more effort into the club and do it every week. I also ask club members what they want to do, so I have to incorporate that and think about what I have to present to them.
