Singley Academy is full of students with unique dreams and goals. Yulianna Ortiz, a freshman at Singley Collegiate, is one of those students with unique qualities and ambition. In a recent interview, Yulianna shared her dream of becoming a forensic pathologist. For those who are unfamiliar with the concept, a forensic pathologist refers to a medical doctor who investigates unexpected, suspicious, unnatural, or violent deaths. When asked about what inspired her to pursue such a unique profession, she mentioned that she had always liked watching crime shows since she was a kid. The mystery and the possibility of bringing justice to someone who died through injustice inspired her to aim to become a forensic pathologist. She further mentions that she hopes to attend Texas A&M for forensics science.
Besides her love for crime shows, she also remarked on her love for art, participating in art competitions like VASE. When asked, what about art intrigues her so much, she answered “Art calms me down during stressful situations.” Along with her passion for forensic science and art, she also loves to volunteer as a way of giving back to the community. She mentioned that she stays involved in the Singley community by volunteering in various school events like trunk-or-treat, mid-autumn festival, and gala.
As a Singley student motivated to achieve her future goals and stay involved in her community, Yulianna says, she hopes to join more clubs and possibly run for office in her next three years of high school.
Yulianna is a notable example of the unique qualities and future goals that fosters among Singley students. Her motivation to pursue becoming a forensic pathologist despite the difficulty of the subject is truly inspiring. Like her, we should all be brave enough to follow our dreams and goals regardless of how difficult they may be.
