MERIT Scholar Jessica Cooley recently spoke at the Johns Hopkins Bayview Medical Grand Rounds alongside U.S. Representative Elijah Cummings. In her moving remarks, Jessica described the enlightening experience of witnessing a surgery for the first time during her MERIT clinical internship. Watching this surgery and shadowing compassionate and dedicated pediatricians solidified Jessica's goal of becoming a pediatric surgeon. Congressman Cummings delivered an impassioned and captivating speech praising the work being done in the Hopkins community and urging Jessica and other young people to never underestimate their power.

I read the Upcoming December Dates post from the NMS RSU60 school blog and saw they shared all the key events, holidays, and school activities so families and students can plan ahead and not miss important things in the month. It reminded me of a time when I had many projects at once and really needed UK assignment help because I felt overwhelmed trying to keep everything straight. Seeing that clear list of dates made me realise that good planning and asking for help when you’re stuck can make busy times feel more manageable and calm.
