“Alena Analeigh Wicker is just 13 years old and she has already been accepted into the University of Alabama's Heersink School of Medicine for 2024 🥼 She was accepted as part of the school's Early Assurance Program, which partners with HBCU schools in Alabama to offer students early acceptance as they plan to enter medical school. ‘I graduated High school LAST YEAR at 12 years old and here I am one year later I've been accepted into Med School at 13. I'm a junior in college,’ she wrote. ‘Statistics would have said I never would have made it. A little black girl adopted from Fontana California.’” #adoption #adoptionjourney #adoptees #blackgirlsinstem
