WAY TO GO! 👏 At just 13 years old, Alena Analeigh Wicker, who was born in Fontana, has already been accepted to medical school after graduating high school last year.
A young girl from Fontana is living proof that you can do anything you set your mind to."Just knowing that I've reached the goal of getting into medical school at this age was amazing for me."Her goal, she said, is to simply help communities and hopes to become a viral immunologist.
She's currently enrolled in two undergraduate programs at Arizona State University and Oakwood University and hopes to start medical school in 2024. Alena, who was also awarded the President's Volunteer Service Award's lifetime achievement award, said she's always had a passion for giving back and said her family play a big role.
"I also had that support system," she said. "They were there when I needed them. They gave me that support to say, 'Don't give up on your dream.'"
