"One of the dreams I have is to go back to my parents' country, Guatemala, and be able to help the ill there."
Naydelin will be attending Providence College in the fall and intends to be a neuroscience major. Her plan is to do lots of internships, hopefully study abroad, and build on her resume. Naydelin said it was her first chemistry class that she had at Central that first sparked her interest in science and medicine. She is a first generation student, and wants to be able to help others who may struggle living in a new country getting medical help dur to language barriers. Naydelin's dream is to one day return to her parents' home country of Guatemala to be able to help the sick there. Something she would tell incoming Central High School freshmen is to really put themselves out there and to ask questions. Know that it's okay to fall sometimes, because you can always learn from there and pick yourself back up. During Naydelin's time at Central, she did an internship at Kent Hospital, where she was able to shadow doctors and attend meetings. She also did New Urban Arts, which helped her to build on her communication skills and network with others.
