Anuja Jayachandran is a junior at Reedy High School with the desire to pursue cardiology in the future. Her interest in medicine, especially the heart muscle, was sparked from biology class in middle school. In her high school career thus far, she has been very involved in the medical track with Medical Terminology, Health Science, and the Independent Study & Mentorship program. Plus, she has been very involved in Key Club in her junior year and Health Occupations Student of America organization (HOSA) in her sophomore and junior year, holding an officer position of Secretary and Treasurer respectively. She competed in the the HOSA Area Competition and helped plan the Make-A-Wish Reveal for a child with a threatening heart disease.
Outside of her career- related activities, Anuja served as an officer of the choir program and the first Reedy Bollywood Dance Team as Vice President for two consecutive years. Additionally, with the Bollywood Team, she took part in the performing at the Texas Legends Game and with her vocal talent, performed at the first Reedy High School Talent Show to spread her love of the arts with people at school. She was very interested in taking part with the first traditions of Reedy High School which may stay for a very long time after her graduation. Additionally, she has taken part in internships in governments hospitals in India as well as the Hope In His Vision organization for visually impaired children in Rwanda. As a student of high academic standing, she aspires to become a cardiologist attending Baylor University for Medical School.

Mission Statement
Through the independent study and mentorship program, I plan to discover the skills I must possess in order to achieve my goal of becoming a proficient cardiologist. This goal can only be achieved through perseverance and hard work due to the high demanding nature of this profession. Gaining more knowledge about heart specialists along with hands-on experience will allow me to tackle future obstacles with ease. With the aid of my mentor, consistent effort, and efficiency, I aim to complete my final project with great quality and become well-versed about the duties and responsibilities of a cardiologist. My desire to increase my knowledge and experience in cardiology will further solidify my passion this year and also inspire other students along the way.
