Madelyn Floyd WIL VICIK STEM ENDOWMENT SCHOLARSHIP
• After EC I’m planning to complete my bachelor’s in animal science, and hopefully pursue a dual DVM/PhD in equine genomics.

Alongside a professional career, I hope to continue my athletic pursuits. • This scholarship gave me the opportunity to take rigorous classes and receive a top tier education at a fantastic high school. • Multiple teachers have been instrumental to my high school experience, but Mr. MacIntyre, Ms. Lindblad and Mrs. Shen made a huge impact on me. All three teachers encouraged my time away 8

from school while supporting me in the classroom as well. Mr. Mac was there offering advice and help for all of my freshman year. My junior year, he took the time to talk me through the stress of college applications and essays. Ms. Lindblad humored my interest in veterinary medicine and stayed after class to go over my horse’s bloodwork and discuss possible treatments for muscle disease. Mrs. Shen has been my teacher since seventh grade and made Chinese one of my favorite classes. • My favorite class was AP Biology and my favorite activities are riding horses, working as a vet tech, drawing and watching movies. • The best part of attending EC was the support I was given for my athletic goals. No other high school would have been as accepting and open about a student leaving to ride horses. The openness I received has given me national titles, a profitable career and invaluable experiences.
