Nathan credits her late grandmother, Niran Zilkha, with teaching her to care about those around her and to do the right thing — and for encouraging her to pursue singing with her studies.
Max Krackow is no stranger to new experiences — his path since high school has taken him to NASA and hiking the Swiss Alps— and might soon bring him to the Arctic. In the past, there had always been more school, but after grad school I had to pursue a career," he said.
When he graduated from John F. He started Swarthmore College with a double major in physics and engineering. But he became certain in a path toward physics after interning with NASA and later researching high-energy physics while interning at CERN in Geneva, Switzerland, which operates the world's largest particle physics laboratory.
He graduated as a physics major with a minor in mathematics. He went on to get his Ph. Department of Defense. Krackow said research trips to the Arctic sometimes include camping on ice in the ocean north of Alaska, Canada or Greenland to measure and monitor its physical properties. Krackow has competed in the Ironman Maryland triathlon, got his paragliding license and traveled with friends around Vermont, New Hampshire and Maine.
You get to choose what kind of adventure you want it to be. She passed her boards exam, moved to Delaware after hearing about a job opportunity there and had a couple of jobs before finding the right fit at Wilmington Animal Hospital. She said not many understand how difficult the schooling is, balancing pet owner needs with animal needs and obvious challenges like having to put pets to sleep. These kind of stresses can lead to mental health challenges for vets, she said, and according to a American Medical Veterinary Association study, there is a high rate of suicide within the field.
Being a veterinarian has also brought Feldman to Native American reservations through Rural Area Veterinary Services service trips, where she provided vet services for underserved communities in North and South Dakota. She said she hopes to continue this service as she furthers her career. Her advice for high school students graduating this year: Take a variety of classes outside your focus, try new activities outside the comfort zone and remember, "You are allowed to change your mind!
When Armaghan Behlum graduated as valedictorian, this was all he knew for sure: "I enjoyed learning about the brain, and I wanted to do something that had a good impact on others. At that point, he thought that meant possibly going to medical school. Instead, he became a software engineer. In college, Behlum explored his interest in neuroscience. He worked at a neurobiology lab that focused on motor learning behavior. Then Behlum found that he enjoyed working with software.
He landed an internship at Audible, which inspired him to pursue this as a career. But he wanted to intertwine this path with health care in some way. At Verily Life Sciences, his team works on mental health projects. He remembers a quote from his high school physics teacher that he still emulates. As a high schooler, Michael Gross was "pretty sure" he wanted to be a doctor, just like his father. Scott Gross has practiced family medicine in Huntington for more than 30 years. As he figured out what type of doctor to be, Gross toured the world with the Cornell Glee Club.
Gross graduated from college early and spent six months as director of communications for the university's theater department. He then spent an extra year in medical school researching prostate cancer at Cornell-New York Presbyterian Hospital. He described it as a time marked by long hours and daily assessments of his knowledge; plus, he was the most junior member on his team.
Eventually, Gross knew he wanted to focus on urology. But he's found that the field of medicine is broader than he ever thought. And he's still singing in local choirs. Gross said music has become both a hobby and a part of his identity. Recently, he found a recording of his valedictorian address from He still agrees with the advice he gave his classmates back then. She was undecided on the career she wanted to pursue, even as she reached her senior year at Brown University, where she majored in biophysics.
After graduating from Brown, she took a job as a life sciences consultant in Boston, and she said interacting with physicians inspired her to apply to medical school. She helped counsel pregnant women who contracted COVID by calling to check on them and answer their questions, and also helped create a coronavirus community advisory board at Stony Brook to address local pandemic questions and concerns. She credits her time at Great Neck South for helping her get where she is today, such as her involvement in the Science Olympiad, which originally sparked her interest in science.
And she relishes the memories of playing the flute in orchestra — a hobby she still continues. Her advice for high school students graduating this year? Make time for yourself, focus on doing the things you like and spend time with people who make you happy.
If there is a goal you would like to achieve, the most important thing is to work towards it, no matter how small or insignificant that first step may be," she said. Mendelsohn chose the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania, and after attending classes decided he wanted to pursue a career in the restructuring industry.
Mendelsohn credits his high school experience and his family for helping him get where he is now. He says his family helped him develop a strong work ethic, and his teachers and the courses he took in high school helped sharpen critical thinking skills. Since graduating, Mendelsohn has also found love — he and his fiancee, Melanie, plan to get married in Neha Sahni gives her high school a lot of credit for the path she took. As valedictorian, Sahni had big plans: She intended to major in biology and pre-medicine when she got to college.
But once she started classes at Hofstra University, she changed her major to mathematics while completing pre-medicine requirements. Skip to main content. United States.
