Yesenia Bucio `10 has been accepted into the National Youth Leadership Forum on Medicine at Emory University. This July, Yesenia will be introduced to all aspects of the medical field along with other outstanding students from across the country.

According to the Forum's web site, "since 1993, this 10-day forum has introduced students to professionals from some of the nation’s top medical centers and faculty from renowned institutions of learning. Currently, NYLF/MED takes place in the following key cities: Atlanta, Boston, Chicago, Houston, Los Angeles, Philadelphia, San Francisco and Washington, D.C.

With close cooperation from many prestigious and technologically-advanced hospitals, research facilities and medical schools, NYLF/MED enables students through its interactive format to explore a broad range of topics including educational requirements, career options, clinical practice and complex ethical and legal issues facing the medical profession today. Students also get firsthand accounts of what life is like as a resident, discuss global epidemics, cures for life-threatening diseases, medical specialties and primary care with current physicians and patients."
Congratulations, Yesenia!

Samantha King, Samantha Newton, and Jerry Robinson, all members of the Saint Martin de Porres High School Class of 2011, will participate this summer in the ND Vision conference on the campus of the University of Notre Dame. According to the program's web site, "ND Vision is committed to helping young people recognize God's call in their lives and respond to that call with courage and faith. Since 2002, thousands of high school students have come to Notre Dame's campus to take part in this unique experience. In 2009, participants from across the nation will join together at ND Vision to ask important questions about life, faith, their own gifts, and the ways in which we are each called to be the change we want to see in the world."

The Saint Martin community is very proud of Samantha, Samantha, and Jerry for continuing their spiritual, social, emotional, and intellectual growth over the summer.
