I am a sophomore (C'22) majoring in Philosophy with a concentration in Science and minoring in the Biological Basis of Behavior with hopes to go to medical school.

Regarding philosophy for the young: Seizing the new academic opportunities that Penn had placed at my fingertips, I took a fun Introduction to Ethics seminar freshman year. I realized that for the past 12 years of my education, I had missed the invaluable critical thinking skills and liberating curiosity that studying philosophy offers us. Introducing philosophy to grade-school students will enable their growing minds to ask questions and ponder on things beyond traditional subjects. And it's fun!
