'I want to leave my mark on the world': 13-year-old ASU student heading to medical school

- Опубликовано: 6 июл 2022
- First, she wowed the country when she was admitted to ASU at just 12 Years old! But now, Alena Analeigh's dreams are taking her to medical school.
I think it’s important to note that the combination of this bright girl’s intellect AND her parents’ resources have put in her a position to do so. She is blessed and privileged because of this. There are other extremely smart children who may never get an opportunity to succeed in a field they’re passionate for or even find that passion, simply because of the situation they were born into.
Congrats to her and I wish her all the best!!❤
True 💯
EVERY SINGLE TIME a blk girl or woman is highlighted for something good, one of you petty haters comes to throw shade then pretend like you're not.
EVERY SINGLE TIME.
Are NONE of you confident enough to just let a blk girl or woman have her moment? You did this to the blk summer and winter Olympians, you've done it to actresses, congresswomen, etc.
Jesus, talk about an EASY way to spot an insecure person, just mention a blk girl or woman and your insecurities and immaturity comes FLYING OUT AS USUAL.
Just admit that you don't have the maturity to let blk women and girls have anything good - you NEED it to feel good about yourselves.
I am not jealous but she should watch out because this is man's world and I don't need to over emphasize that.....
What resources does she have access to via her parents because it was not mentioned in the video? They did speak about her traveling to Jordan, but nothing else. As a child I traveled internationally but had to work hard in college, graduate school and not so much in law school…lol.
Don’t forget her prior two years have consisted of University “online learning” (due to COVID restrictions)…
I really hope she didn’t Chegg/cheat her way through her prior coursework
I’m almost 28 now and starting medical school in the Caribbean in September. I cannot wait to accomplish my life long dream. People go in different paces
We all run our own race
Caribbean medical schools are very predatory. Best of luck my friend. Hope you make it out.
this isn't about you
@@weirdo-gj5xz shut up who told u to comment
@@weirdo-gj5xz isn’t it obvious?!
Good for her! I'm 10 years her senior, failed stats and am on academic probation lolol. I'm very happy for her! Also a fellow Texan! 🥰🥰
Hey ,marie hope u good u did statitics dear?
@@mwanaidially6549 Aww, hey. Thanks for asking! 🥰 I'm retaking it now and have an incredible professor. I'm doing a lot better in the course. 🙂
Hi Marie I hope you pass Stats I know it's a hard class but you got this
This is absolutely awesome! She’s going to do so much for the world. We are all cheering for her and wishing her nothing but the best! Kick butt!
Young lady we are very proud of you!!! You have already made a wonderful mark in this world!! Thank you for being the example that need to be seen by our youth. God bless you ALWAYS!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
You go girl reach for the stars and beyond.
Im 25 years old and I am absolutely inspired. You girl go. With passion and dedication you can achieve anything.
Not all of us are haters! Some of us can be happy for a girl without trying to put a stain on her moment, so BIG CONGRATS to this young lady!!!🎉🎉🎉
You're missing the point. She's obviously incredibly intelligent and inspiring but naturally people are worried about the effects this will have on her. Should a minor really have to face the abuse of difficult patients? Should someone this young be placed under so much pressure and be stripped of her teen years?
@Adrián McMahon if she doesn’t feel it’s like that then it’s not like that if you hold her back to be like the other kids when she’s not she will become bored she is on a higher level and plenty kids for decades who are very smart skipped to college young they turned out fine
@@kaaay0313 Did you know what you wanted to dedicate your life to at the age of 13? And you’re not realizing just how difficult medical school is on your mental health. Going through that at the same time your brain is developing is very dangerous
@@adr77510but who said I wanted to do patient care I think that's what everyone is missing being a doctor doesn't always =patient care
@@alenaanaleigh. That is true, but in medical school you’ll have to try all the specialties so do be aware that many will place you in situations where patient care is a heavy part of your role. Pathology, radiology, and the such are good alternatives for people like you.
This is absolutely fantastic, congratulations young lady. Well done. ♥️🥂💐
When something good is happening we should support, inspire, and comment to create change even if it takes our last breath away!
Omg what a beautiful spirit, she is an angel sent from the heavens to encourage our young black girls🙏🏾
She is not "black". Beside that: she can be inspirational for all kind of people. Your remark feeds racism.
@@ury2936 If she's not black, what is she? Purple?
@@ury2936 She is black and proud don’t try that all kind of people rubbish.
Congrats to you Young Lady!
I think this is SO great!! Good luck to you!❤️
Congrats on all her success God bless the family❤️🙏🏾
You soo sweet....big brains with still a small pretty heart inside there...good girl ..May we all make it
Turns out she's a super genius!!! I am so happy for her!! Keep fighting the good fight!!
Wow I know her parents are so proud of her🙌🏾💯💕
She must read insanely fast , my sister is in medical school , Emory in Georgia .. and she reads non-stop no social life at all … she’s top of the class but , I couldn’t imagine her doing it faster , it doesn’t seem possible . Congratulations 🎉🍾🎈
How old is sister if I may ask
So she’ll basically be a robot and her coworkers won’t like her and patients won’t trust her…great. We need PERSONABLE doctors who show empathy, not robots who are book smart but nothing else. 🤦🏻♂️
@@flanagamer I’d prefer a brilliant doctor that knows how to fix me who’s cold and efficient. And a warm kind Nurse .. than a fake nice doctor who’s nice cause they don’t know anything and isn’t sure what todo ..
I am not jealous but she should watch out because this is man's world and I don't need to over emphasize that.....
@@kunzetale not really , it hasn’t been a mans world since ww2 .. it’s not a pretty equal world , plenty of powerful and untouchable women out there .. scary to some maybe but true .
This absolutely beyond amazing!!! Congratulations to her!! Well done!!!
What an inspiration to all people of the world! Blessings
So proud of b you keep up the greatvwork you truly are a inspiration to all yong teens
Girl gooooo!!! Such a inspiration!!! It’s ok that she changed her mind she is amazing!! She is our ancestors wildest dreams!
WOW, you go girl!!! Congratulations in all you do. You make me proud. Keep up that fantabulous job you are doing. 🤩🥰💗💖💝💘💞💚💛💜
Yes we need more doctor’s!
There is such a shortage!
Amazing story . . . Keep pushing reminds me of a 13/14 year old math wiz from South Africa being sourced by a University Chancellor if I recall well - Keep pushing and inspiring "all" looking past the "Labels of Classification" I'll stop right there . . .
You go girl. Black girl magic. Got to give flowers 🌼🌹 to her parents or whoever raise this young lady. Such an inspiration
No, Not Magic but dedication, hard work/discipline and single minded focus.
@@denisesmith6885 I strongly agree. Definitely needs to live by that myself. Thanks for replying 🙂. Much appreciated. Stay bless
@@Skaniathespartan No one can rob you of your dreams and your future but you. Reach high and believe you can do whatever you put your mind to.
@@denisesmith6885 ❤
As a medical student, I have to say that it’s too early for her to go to med school. No matter how bright she is, there’s a high level of social and biological maturity needed. Should she be inspecting men’s penis ulcers when she’s 15 or 16 years old? Should she be dissecting real human bodies when she’s barely old enough to watch a PG-13 film? I don’t see what the huge rush is.
I'm a medical student as well and had the same thoughts during the video.
She will be stripped of her youth, and unfortunately this can have serious negative effects on her mental health and social development. grown adults in their 20s get broken down by medical school, imagine a 14 year old.. :/
Did a PhD in EE and am now an MD. If she couldn’t suffer through a year of an undergrad engineering program, not sure med school and residency will be well-tolerated. Agree that taking time off would be a good idea before starting. Best of luck!
Agreed
A normie brain like you wouldn’t understand
@@weirdo-gj5xz ur right, but she isn't a normal child obviously. Hindering her academic progress because of her age will prolly lead her to boredom and disinterest. Not saying she needs medical school to stimulate her academically but surely she must need some sort of program tailored to her intelligence
Congratulations to you academic achievement I am proud of you keep up the good work!
Oh to have a photo graphic memory, what I would pay, well done young lady.
Me @13 - "I want to be a doctor"
Me @23 - "I want to be a doctor"
Alena @13 - "hold my pen..."
This legend who walks among us brings joy and inspiration to my heart. Good luck to ya and may God provide strength, protection, and wisdom unto ya.
Me @24 taking the MCAT for the third time 😂
@@MohamedAhmed-wc3pwyou got this I hope you do well you got this
Congratulations and best of success, I know you can do it!
YESSS!! You go girl!!! I’m so proud of you and I don’t even know you 🥲
I’m glad her encouraged her!| bet there are countless kids who could do amazing things if only their parents were as driven as they were
God bless you and your family. Congratulations 🎊 👏 💐
You go girl! You inspire me! 🤯
Your are inspiring to others. I pray your success will challenge other young girls and boys to rise to the challenge of reaching higher levels of education as they find they are capable of more and more at higher levels of academic and professional achievements. God bless those inspired by your rising to the next level of success.
This is amazing!!
Put some respect on our HBCU. She goes to Oakwood University. How do I know? We’re in the same surgical club together. Still proud of her though 🙌🏾
Oakwood University of Seventh day Adventist. I went there did pre med and I am now a doctor. Thank God my mother invested in a Christian education.
@@brain683 I’m a bio major and an entrepreneurship minor. Enter to learn. Depart to serve
Hey Rashida..Enter To Learn Depart to Serve ❤
God has truly blessed her so you keep doing what you do luv god bless you!!!!✝️🙏😇
This is beautiful I love to see it!!!
Oceans of blessings. Oceans of blessings. Oceans of blessings
Just a guess… was she homeschooled?!? Well done, young lady! ❤️
heard she was, there's something about this homeschooled thing tho
I love her spirit, her mind, and her Black beauty!!!! She is awesome!!!!!! Already giving so much to others!!!
If she did not do it then people would still question. She did it. Good for her godbless.
Such a blessing!
Ofcourse!! So proud 👏 🥲 🥰
Congratulations! I pray God protects you and grants you favor!

POWERFUL BLACK GIRL 13 YEARS CONGRATULATIONS 🎉 THANKS YOU GOODNESS 🌟 ❤️🖤💚🤎 FAMILY DAPHNE COTTON ALWAYS 💜 AWESOME BEAUTIFUL
Congratulations 🎉🎉👏👏
You go girl!!
Hopefully she can handle the classes.
I know I wouldn't be able to at 18.
Congrats to you!!!!
God bless 👏
Finally someone who will be finishing med school and won’t retire shortly after because med school, residency and fellowship take so long.
You gonna trust a 20 something to perform open-heart surgery on you? 😅😅
you could become a doctor in your early thirties. it’s all a matter of perspective and what you want .
She is not the only smart child in the world just one of the lucky ones
There are so many smart children in this world
But there are many Continents and Countries that will never let a child that age at a College or University because u must finish high school
you are not just a troll and in this case we are the unlucky ones
her IQ must be off the charts. people like this are born as geniuses.
I love it. 💯🔥🔥🔥
God bless you
Very smart. May the almighty Yahweh who gives knowledge and foresight protect you and make your dreams come true!
That's a gift from Yah
So proud of you 👏😄...
Amazing!...
Freaking amazing!!!!
This story does not make sense? Finishing 2.5 yrs of college in 1 year, and applying to med school, taking MCAT? Really?
LMFAO🤣🤣 It seems like anything is doable these days for some weird odd reason LOL🤣 The world doesn’t make sense lol☠️
Good for her but I just hope she can still enjoy her teenage years!
Way to go! Perfect timing! We need new and young immunologists and people who want to go to Mars and outer space.👌
As soon as she turns 18, she'll be very independent and live as a person who can make lots of money and save lives, a doctor! She is an inspiring and extremely bright young girl! Best Wishes to her!
She has been accepted into medical school but the question is this acceptance to start after she completes college in a couple of years at age 15?? When I was in Medical School you had to be age 21 to get a Medical license after graduation. Is that still true? Congrats!! You will continue to make history!
Jonny Kim, is an American US Navy lieutenant commander (former SEAL), physician, and NASA astronaut.
Why is this story so short?
Impressive, best of luck
She finished undergrad in 1 year???
Wow
Good for her 👏
Wonderful ! It's not really hard hard work that made her successful, but being born with an intellect far beyond the normal child. Also having the monetary resources, at such a young age, to fly from one place to another, just to go to take a class. Almost no one has those monetary resources. I was wondering what she found wrong with being an Engineer and then working with NASA? It is just as good as being an MD.
She's a child who has no idea what she wants to do and isn't old or mature enough to make these decisions. That's pretty obvious. Take 1 single engineering class and find out it isn't for you after talking up this supposed big dream of working at NASA? That's her being 12 and having no idea what engineering actually is. Just like she has no idea what being a physician is like nor a virologist. It really is incredibly irresponsible what will happen to her. I hope medicine is all she believes it to be, but considering she got accepted with virtually 0 clinical experience of any kind, she probably has no idea and may just "lose interest" in this too because she's just now hitting puberty and doesn't have any idea what she wants. Her parents are the orchestraters of this.
I hate that these type of videos get so few views and comments. We as a black people need to do better, no matter if no other race watches these videos and applaud these children, we should. We should uplift our own children and not worry about everybody else up lifting our children.
Homeschooled girl! 👏 👏 👏
I really hope she takes a gap year or two before med school, she is so young!
Awesome news!!!!
😊😊😊😊❤😌
👏👏👏
C'mon Oprah have a show about this young woman! She's inspiring, show some love!
🤲🏽💥💯💫👑❣️
Good for her
My son is 16 and has been in STEM program since he was 12. It was offered to minority people back then through his school. So I'm curious about the brown Stem program? It was offered to blacks and Hispanics so I'm curious about hers. She should be very proud of herself don't listen to any negative remarks not that you even have to. Keep doing what you're doing kiddo 👏
Genius
We really need more Black Doctors
We need more doctors. Who cares what kind of skin they have?
@@ury2936 We do need more black doctors because its literally proven how patient outcomes improve when treated by black doctors.
No we need more doctors in general. Why is it always a race thing
@@chuckpuck6744 It matters because we know that black patients have better health outcomes when treated
by black doctors.
@@daveyjones3016 so you're saying that white doctors don't care as much ?
Let God leave His mark on you.
Why is her last name WICKER in this segment & M quarter in others?
Believe it
I’m SOOOOO PROUD OF HERRRR!!!!!!! CONGRATULATIONS 🥳🤩🎉 this shows we can accomplish ANYTHING we put our minds to!!!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️🫶🏾🫶🏾🫶🏾❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥🔥🔥🔥
NOT a product of public school.
I hope we once again see the day where being a 13 year old who was accepted to medical school is impressive enough and we can hear a news story like this without a mention of her skin color.. brilliant kid
We can hear a story like this without the mention of skin color. It’s just as amazing.
@@whitebroccoli694 we can.. yet we didn’t
As a Black American, we NEED more stories like this one versus the stories that always depict Blacks as degenerates.
@@texas1977 provide specific RECENT examples please.
@@ryanwinters3234 Why is it when we hear about crimes done by someone of color (black person) racist are so quick to point out that person color but when something positive is done y’all are so quick to say that race does not matter that we shouldn’t make it about “race”.
This just shows that color doesn't matter. It matters how much you study and stay in school.
But it does matter. As long as they can use it to their advantage and oppress others color will always matter.
Whatever career path she takes, she's smart enough to know that kindness matters most.
@@firstnamelastname9444 It depends on the med school.
@@firstnamelastname9444 I haven't seen any discrimination in medical school in regards to age, gender, or race.
I am not jealous but she should watch out because this is man's world and I don't need to over emphasize that.....
My darling girl congratulations!
I'm happy for this future powerful woman but I still think the US school program is a joke, I understand the acceptance is from 2024 but still a child of 15 need to be a child, to develop and learn about herself, not to go to medical school, every age have it role. I think you in US want robots not humans being, I would like to think she would continue study and maybe she would choose to go to university abroad US, I'm sure that at 18 university like Sorbonne will be proud to give her a sit in their amphitheaters.
