Dionise Guerra-Carrillo knew she wanted to become a doctor at a young age after her mother\u2019s friend gave her a toy safety kit. Now, she\u2019s committed to attending Harvard University this fall.<\/p>\n

Guerra-Carrillo, a senior at Wood River High School, told the Times-News she will be attending Harvard University to study neuroscience and mathematics after contemplating whether to attend other Ivy League schools, including Yale University and Dartmouth College, that she had also been accepted to.<\/span><\/p>\n

Guerra-Carrillo is the first WRHS student in 25 years to be accepted into both Yale and Harvard.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cBecause my parents are immigrants, they dreamed of this since I was a little child,\u201d Guerra-Carrillo said. \u201cI mean, graduating high school was already just such a big dream. And then, like, getting into such a prestigious institution was insane.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Thinking of others throughout her years in high school, as well, Guerra-Carrillo translated the dual-credit medical terminology course to Spanish for the high school so that those resources could be implemented locally.<\/span><\/p>\n

Guerra-Carrillo started working on translations her junior year of high school and, in total, spent 70 hours translating the material; she did an additional 30 hours to edit and revise it.<\/span><\/p>\n

Guerra-Carrillo recently gave all her resources and translated material to the College of Southern Idaho as her final \u201cpassion project\u201d before graduating.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cMy main desire in doing these interviews was to make sure that Latinos, and just the Latino community in general, feels empowered to dream and hope and reach for the stars, because you truly can do it,\u201d Guerra-Carrillo said.<\/span><\/p>\n

ionise Guerra-Carrillo supo que quer\u00eda ser m\u00e9dica a una edad temprana despu\u00e9s de que una amiga de su madre le regal\u00f3 un kit de seguridad de juguete. Ahora se ha comprometido a asistir a la Universidad de Harvard este oto\u00f1o.<\/p>\n

Guerra-Carrillo, estudiante de \u00faltimo a\u00f1o de la escuela secundaria Wood River, dijo al Times-Noticias asistir\u00e1 a la Universidad de Harvard para estudiar neurociencia y matem\u00e1ticas despu\u00e9s de considerar la posibilidad de asistir a otras escuelas de la Ivy League, incluidas la Universidad de Yale y el Dartmouth College, en las que tambi\u00e9n hab\u00eda sido aceptada.<\/span><\/p>\n

Es la primera estudiante de WRHS en 25 a\u00f1os en ser aceptada tanto en Yale como en Harvard.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cDebido a que mis padres son inmigrantes, so\u00f1aron con esto desde que yo era un ni\u00f1o peque\u00f1o\u201d, dijo Guerra-Carrillo. \u201cQuiero decir, graduarme de la escuela secundaria ya era un gran sue\u00f1o. Y luego, entrar en una instituci\u00f3n tan prestigiosa fue una locura\u201d.<\/span><\/p>\n

Pensando tambi\u00e9n en los dem\u00e1s a lo largo de sus a\u00f1os en la escuela secundaria, tradujo el curso de terminolog\u00eda m\u00e9dica de doble cr\u00e9dito al espa\u00f1ol para la escuela secundaria para que esos recursos pudieran implementarse localmente.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cMi principal deseo al hacer estas entrevistas era asegurarme de que los latinos, y solo la comunidad latina en general, se sientan capacitados para so\u00f1ar, tener esperanza y alcanzar las estrellas, porque realmente pueden hacerlo\u201d, dijo Guerra-Carrillo.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
