3 steps to get into every Ivy League University: It’s not possible Even if you cure cancer, getting into every ivy league is impossible because every university looks for different values in their students. Some want spikes while others want a well-rounded profile. Some want rebels, while some want a “spike”. Being yourself is often what helps you stand out to most colleges; however if you’d like to tailor your profile to your dream university, talking to a student there can help you immensely because they know exactly what their college is looking for. We can help! Let’s say your dream university is Dartmouth, we’ll connect you with a current Dartmouth student that will help you through every step of your application and make sure the qualities your college is looking for, shines through. Drop us a DM if you’re interested!

Childhood curiosity turned into a groundbreaking discovery Heman Bekele, an Ethiopian-born kid in the US, invented a soap with the potential to treat skin cancer. As impressive as his invention is, it's not what truly amazed me. It's the opportunities he received, the mentorship he was given, and the recognition of his passion by his teachers, school, and community. It’s the support he got from various institutions. A few weeks ago, I wrote about a high school friend named Biruk here https://lnkd.in/dCEuBuWV a math prodigy who, due to a lack of recognition and opportunities, ended up being ??? ????? ??? ?????? ????? ??? ?When I heard about Heman Bekele, Biruk immediately came to mind. If Biruk had received even half the recognition, mentorship, and opportunities that Heman did, he might not have invented a cure for cancer, but he would certainly have achieved more than he did. ?????? ?? ???? ?? ????? ???? ?? ??? ?????? ???? ?? ?????? recognize ????? ???? ???????? ??? ??????? ????????? ???? ??????? ???? ???? ????? ?????? ??? ?????? ????? ?????? ???? ???? ?????? ????? ???? ????? ??????? ?????? ???? ????? ??? ?? ???? ???? ???? ??????? ???? ?? ???????? ????????? let's nurture children's curiosity, recognize their talents, gift and effort , and guide them to use their gifts, realize their potential Until our educational system starts doing that #Education #TeenEmpowerment #recognizeeffort #MentorshipMatters #UnlockPotential

Today, I am highlighting: Charles Richard Drew, MD, pioneered blood preservation techniques that led to thousands of lifesaving blood donations. Drew’s doctoral research explored best practices for banking and transfusions and helped him establish the first large-scale blood banks. Drew then led the first American Red Cross Blood Bank and created mobile blood donation stations that are now known as bloodmobiles. He protested the American Red Cross’ policy of segregating blood by race and ultimately resigned from the organization. Drew’s true passion was surgery. He was appointed chairman of the department of surgery and chief of surgery at Freedmen’s Hospital (now known as Howard University Hospital) in Washington, D.C. During his time there, he went to great lengths to support young African Americans pursuing careers in the discipline.
