My name is Roma Shriram and in the fall I'll attend either IU or Case Western University to pursue neuroscience on the premed track. My favorite BCSSE experience has been the biomed pathway and I really appreciate how invested BCSE is in career exploration and the two teachers that have made the most impact on me have been Mrs. Stein Wedddle and Mrs. Horn as I've been pretty involved with them from my freshman to my senior year. I've grown not only as a student but also as a leader and as a communicator as I've also been involved with them for HOSA which is the club that we have here at North [Applause] Every time I hear them speak or their accomplishments, all I think of is wow. Um, what a great group of hardworking, high achieving students we have and we are very proud of them. Um, before I introduce them, I want to share a little bit of a unique situation we have this year with our top 10.
