 Hello, my name is Jasmine Mendoza-Rtega from the Academy of Health and Medical Sciences, and I am your PCTI salutatorian. I chose my CTE because I really am into the medical field and I always dreamed of going into something that had to do with medicine since I was a little girl. When I heard that I was a salutatorian, I felt overjoyed. I immediately walked out of that office just smiling and excited to tell all my friends and all my family. They knew how hard I worked to acquire this position and they knew how much I studied all throughout high school. So in school, I am a part of a lot of clubs. I am the president of NHS and I'm a competitor in pharmacology for HOSA. I am also a part of the History Club and Student Council Interact. After high school, I plan on attending Cain University for a bachelor's in science and biomedicine. I then hope to go to medical school and become an ear, nose and throat surgeon. A fun fact about me is that I didn't know English until I was five or six years old and then I started watching Dora the Exploradora and that's how I learned English. Some people I would like to thank are my mom and my dad and all my brothers and sisters that helped me study.
