This one time ...
I competed in a dance competition at Disneyland.
Jaylen
I've always wanted to learn sign language, and I might end up doing so in case my hearing deteriorates.
Alec
Often I will say I don't care about things, even if I actually do. Also, I'd drop anything to help my friends.
Kelii
I like Ketchup. I put ketchup on (almost everything). But I don't like RNG. I have the worst RNG luck you'll ever see.
David
Do I want to be a radiologist because I'm innately interested in that career path, or because of the accomplishment factor?
Zara
I got stuck in a janitor's closet. As in someone locked me into one. On purpose!
Shannon
"Success to me looks like: returning to O'ahu after college and raising a family."
Lucia
I used to have a dedicated fish graveyard.
Kiyoshi
I'm super nostalgic for the years 2018 and 2020.
Olivia
Do I want to go into medicine, or am I just really inspired by Dr. Strange?
Mason
I got stung by a bee even though I was standing perfectly still, and now I still have a grudge against bees in general.
Leyla
I've wanted to write books since before I was 3 years old, so maybe authorship is in my future?
Kelii
I have a deformed hip bone, but it doesn't stop me from running track. It also doesn't stop me from having a broken circadian rhythm and a coffee addiction, but that's another story.

Shannon & Olivia
I realized that if you jump to 2:40 of Bo Burnham's song "Goodbye," you get to the good part.
Kiyoshi
In the future, when I turn 21, I'll have to wait awhile longer for all my friends to catch up before going to any bars because I'm the oldest in my friend group.
Jaylen
Three correct answers required:
I have (or have had) scoliosis!
"I had to wear a back brace at school from 8th-10th grade; all the adults thought it was sad and kept saying, 'you're so brave,' but it didn't really feel like that. I was just indifferent...it was pretty funny."
Alexa & Trevor & Olivia
I stare at the sky a lot. People really don't notice the sky as much as it deserves to get noticed.
Mason
Ok this student didn't write that they wanted to be a doctor, but, here's a medicine-adjacent experience:
I had to get reconstructive surgery on my right middle finger.
Hunter
I went to the Philippines, and everywhere I went people wanted to take my picture.
Zara
I want to travel the world.
(this may apply to many of you, but only one of you used this exact phrasing)
Leyla
I have perfect pitch, a YouTube channel, and competing aspirations: aerospace engineer vs. duck farmer.

"Spike ball god."
Lucia

Ok this student didn't write that they wanted to be a doctor, but, here's a couple facts that kind of defied the categories I tried to organize the facts into:
I am not afraid of confrontation! Also my grandmother was a Buddhist monk. Correlation?
