Alanah Poullard, a remarkable African American teenager from Jennings, Louisiana, is set to graduate high school at the young age of 16.
Her achievements don’t stop there – she has been accepted into an astounding 60 colleges across the country and has secured over a million dollars in scholarships.
Poullard’s passion for medicine is evident, as she earned an internship at the American Academy of Medicine and Surgery at the University of California last summer.
Her dedication and hard work have paid off, with acceptances pouring in from prestigious institutions nationwide.
“When I say I ran to that bathroom so quick, and I was jumping up and down. I had jumped out of my heels. I was so happy,” she recounted.
Poullard’s journey to success began at a young age when she made headlines at 5 years old for meeting former President Barack Obama.
Now, as she prepares for college, Poullard offers invaluable advice to aspiring students facing academic challenges.
“Just because you don’t have a high A-C-T score or your grades might not be that good, you can still apply to that school if you want to,” Poullard encourages. “I guarantee you when you have a long list of community services that you’ve done, that’s going to say a lot about you as a person.”
Her ultimate goal is to attend medical school and become a trauma surgeon, paving the way for future generations of young achievers.
