Variety of Interests Among Huntington High School Students

Huntington High School students have a variety of personal and career interests that run the gamut of possibilities. A sampling of recent Science Honor Society inductees proves the point.

Julian Canales said he plans to become a doctor, possibly an endocrinologist because he has always been interested in science and wants it to be something he does for the rest of his life.

Mr. Canales said he “loves how science is able to change based on new discoveries and [how it] is subject to laws or rules for the most part.”

John Joyce looks forward to a career in engineering. His favorite science class is physics and he’s currently enrolled in an engineering class. He said he likes STEM because he finds it “more interesting.”

Grace Oliva wants to pursue a college degree in chemistry. She loves studying chemistry because she “loves learning an understanding how everything works. She added she also loves doing labs because she “gets to see it for myself.”

Cecilena Monge Moreira plans to become a dentist. “Science is forever ongoing and you can always ask new questions or explore different aspects of life through it,” she said. “Its ability to be connected to the environment while simultaneously being connected to the world of healthcare is what has made me love it.”

Manpreet Kaur is interested in a career as either a neurologist or something else in the medical field. She loves how science and STEM impacts on everyday life and the diversity within it.

Dana Saramago intends to become a music educator and “bring creativity and joy to upcoming generations,” she said. “I wish to not watch students follow the same boring formula of just passing by in school, but to instead encourage them to forge a path for themselves with creativity and curiosity. In my eyes, to inspire curiosity is to inspire identity, discovery and the innovation of the world surrounding.”

Ms. Saramago said she loves learning and exploring new topics, “so what better way to learn through research and study in the sciences.”

Science has always commanded her interest “and learning new facts and interesting occurrences only further pique my interests,” Ms. Saramago said. “There is so much more to discover about science and so many more experiments to be conducted, that in my eyes it truly never becomes monotonous.”
