also had been previously published in Seasons of Laughter, an anthology of
poems.
Activities: Kabria has earned a 4.2 grade point average and is now taking
Advanced Placement courses in biology and English. She is also enrolled in two
foreign language classes, Spanish and French. She recently attended the
Minority Student Medical Career Awareness Workshop in San Francisco, a

Aspiration: She hopes to attend Harvard or Yale, and is considering becoming a
pediatrician or biologist, and a writer. “I want to be like the person who can
find a cure, help people who are less fortunate.”
Quote: “Writing poetry is kind of like my outlet,” Kabria said. “If you don’t
(do that), you end up being so closed up, you can’t explore.” Lisa Mascaro
