Danielle Mildort’s category is Science and to her, it meant a chance to explore the world around us and figure out how and why everything in the world works. To her, “Science also helps us develop a better future for ourselves by figuring out how to solve specific things like diseases.”

Pathfinders has prepared her for the future by helping her understand what she wants to become in the future. She always knew she wanted to do something within the science realm and Pathfinders has helped her to actually think about what she would like to do once she graduates high school, which is fastly approaching.

She also stated that the experience has “helped me to become more professional, by helping me understand what to wear at an interview, how to answer interview questions, and how to keep calm and have a professional manner when faced with such difficult situations.”

When asked if she think she won, she answered, “Hopefully, I do think I won. I think I displayed a great sense of knowledge in my field. The interview was fine. The interviewers made sure I felt comfortable and they didn’t stress me out by asking me academically rigorous questions, they mostly focused on me, why I was there, and my career in the future. I do think I could’ve answered a couple of questions much better, but considering the little time I had, and the way the questions were posed, I think I answered the questions as best as I could, which I think resulted in a high possibility of me winning.”

Her favorite field of science, that she could talk about forever would be anatomy and physiology. She finds learning about the human body to be very beneficial interesting. She thinks the more we learn about the human body, the more we can understand how to take care of ourselves, and how to minimize the pain and suffering of those who suffer such chronic diseases. 

She also thinks that anatomy and physiology is a huge important role in the medical field and in any job that you have in a medical field, you would need to learn your anatomy and physiology because you need to learn where everything is in the body, what it does, and the significance of that organ, etc. So she thinks that it’s very interesting to learn about and most of the time, knowing your anatomy and physiology is the root to some questions or issues people might have with the human body.
