Hello, I’m Aria Hoffman. I’ll be graduating from Aberdeen High School in June of 2023. My career goal has been to become a surgeon since the second grade. Becoming a surgeon is my dream and I strive to reach this goal everyday. I work hard to get good grades, I’m apart of multiple honor societies, I take part in community service, I’ve had two job shadow opportunities, one for a construction company that I work for now and the second at a pediatric doctor’s office. Both were amazing experiences for me and I’m continuing to job shadow at the office. I play multiple sports and enjoy them greatly. I find interest in researching the brain and certain disorders that happen in the brain and I’ve gotten to watch a heart surgery and a hip replacement surgery which was an amazing opportunity. I’m so excited to move on from high school and attend a university and finally begin the path to becoming a fetal surgeon.
