Looking for more answers about the brain

Angel Lopez hangs out between classes at Lee College.

“I’ve always been interested in science. My favorite class right now is chemistry, learning about all the chemical reactions that occur inside the body.

“I like to know stuff, like why everything happens the way it does. For example, why do children learn the most when they’re newborn to 3 years old? It just fascinates me how the brain works. Our brain drives us. It controls our body, our movements, everything. I want to know more about how that happens. I want to be a pediatric neurologist when I get older.

“I feel pretty lucky going to IMPACT (Early College High School). It’s going to take a lot of school to become a pediatric neurologist, so I wanted to get a head start.”
