2020 CHOMP Scholarship Recipient
Gabrielle Schmidt
Hello! My name is Gabrielle Schmidt, and I’m currently a junior at York School. It is such an honor to receive the Braxton Stuntz Memorial Scholarship. Outside of the classroom, I play three varsity sports, field hockey, soccer, and lacrosse for my school. I’ve enjoyed the experience of being a part of a team and the friendships I have built. Other activities that I’m involved in are my school’s choir and chamber choir programs, student council as one of the activities coordinator for my class, and York’s Shield program. The most rewarding activity I do outside of my school is working at my local synagogue, Congregation Beth Israel. On Sundays, I work as a Madricha, or a teacher’s aide for the religious school program. My Jewish faith is important to me, and I enjoy helping young kids learn about the holidays, prayers and other traditions I have grown up with. Although I like all of my classes, I have always been drawn to math and science the most, and hope to study the health sciences going forward in my education. This summer, I was looking forward to traveling to Cambodia to work at the Children’s Surgical Centre, a hospital that, besides providing medical services to the local population, trains local health workers. Unfortunately, it seems unlikely that I will be able to go due to COVID-19, but I am currently looking for other healthcare-related opportunities this summer.
