Saniya Word

My name is Saniya Word and I’m a senior at Africentric Early College. I plan to attend a university to study Medical Laboratory Science, driven by my curiosity to understand how and why things happen while also helping others. Outside of academics I spend a lot of time working in the community with children, allowing my time with them to teach me patience and compassion for others. I am also an athlete in volleyball and track, my experience as an athlete has taught me leadership, teamwork, and discipline that translates into many other areas of my life. I’m always excited to learn and explore new opportunities around me, especially if they allow me to help those around me.
