It is no small feat to receive the Charles and Susan Shearer Scholarship. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Created by the Board of Trustees to honor the Shearers\u2019 nearly 30 years of service to Transylvania, the scholarship is awarded each year to two exceptional Pioneers who have \u201cdemonstrated outstanding academic performance, impressive leadership qualities, significant campus contributions and tremendous strength of character.\u201d  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Recent graduate Emily Hayes \u201919 recalls just how powerful it was to receive the scholarship \u2014 the freedom and peace of mind that the financial assistance gave her to focus solely on the demands of her senior year, and the support and validation she received from her community. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Even the \u201cbest and brightest,\u201d as described by the scholarship, need the kind of encouragement from peers and faculty that helps them fully recognize and believe in their own abilities. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hayes\nrecounts how the multiple layers of support she received at Transy helped her build\nan undergraduate career worthy of the Shearer Scholarship and, ultimately, of\nacceptance into the University of Kentucky College of Medicine. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

When the Walton, Kentucky, native first visited Transy as a junior at Ryle High School with her AP biology classmate Amber Phillips \u201919, she was drawn to the demanding STEM curriculum. And she loved the friendly campus. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAs\nsoon as I stepped onto Transy’s campus, it felt different, it felt right,\u201d she\nsays. \u201cI was really excited about the science program. It ended up working out\nreally well.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hayes\nappreciated the flexibility to choose exercise science or biology. \u201cI talked to\nfaculty and STEM students and learned that either direction would be amazing at\nTransy.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As she devoted herself to classwork, she quickly discovered that community involvement, not just academic preparation, was integral to her growth as a person and a pre-med candidate. Studying wasn\u2019t enough. She needed more connection and challenges that took her outside of the familiar. So, she joined Residence Life as an adviser and gained an instant family. She tutored at the Carnegie Center, just a short walk to the other end of Gratz Park, first as part of a work-study program and then as a volunteer. She joined a sorority after being inspired by the caliber of its members, hoping to become that same inspiration to others. She tapped into the Transy network of pre-health contacts for shadowing opportunities in the medical profession.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Being pre-med in\nTransy\u2019s liberal arts environment meant that Hayes would take classes outside\nher biology major, an experience that enriched her understanding of her future\nprofession. She considered minoring in Spanish, but after her tutoring\nexperience at Carnegie and in Transy\u2019s Writing Center, she chose to take education\nclasses in order to better understand the teaching process. The classes helped\nher define her approach to medicine.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI\u2019d been very science focused,\u201d she notes. \u201cTaking other classes let me meet and look at different communities on campus.\u201d She saw how the \u201ctopics we talked about \u2014 connecting with students, figuring out different ways to manage and problem-solve, autonomy \u2014 could actually translate into my future career in medicine.\u201d She better understood how education could alter the lives of her future patients \u2014 and her work as a pediatrician. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019ve always looked at medicine as a form of teaching about health. It\u2019s more about connecting with patients, and actually building that relationship of trust.<\/p>Emily Hayes ’19<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBeginning\nyour life with a good base of knowledge and health is going to set you up for the\nrest of your life,\u201d she adds. \u201cThere are so many studies that show that if\nyou\u2019re doing things right from the age of 12-25, you\u2019ll have better chances for\nthe next 75 years.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

When the\nShearer Scholarship was presented as an option, Hayes had her doubts. But as\nshe talked with faculty who would write letters of recommendation, she saw\ntheir confidence in her.   <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt was humbling,\u201d she says, \u201cand let me believe in myself more.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After hearing all those things, she thought, \u201cMaybe I am what they\u2019re saying and now I can be more intentional, and use their praise to guide the things I\u2019m doing in the future.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

She drew on\nthis new confidence in her application to medical school. But it was the strategic\nguidance offered by Transy\u2019s pre-health program<\/a>\nthat helped her cross the finish line.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThere are\nso many different things that come together to decide if you\u2019re going to get into\nmed school,\u201d Hayes notes. \u201cYou can have the best score and GPA and shadowing,\nbut if you apply too late you won\u2019t get in, because there is such a high volume\nof applicants.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When she received\na late interview date, Transy\u2019s pre-health advocate guided her to take immediate\naction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI was very fortunate to have that support system,\u201d says Hayes. \u201cMy application wouldn\u2019t have been as good and my interview would have been too late. I would have been waitlisted at best. Two days after I called, an interview spot opened. I was admitted in early December and the class filled a week later.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hayes already\ncan imagine the impact that she can have as a physician in her community. \u201cAny\nincreased effort to try to help people and help them help their children is\nwhat we need to focus on,\u201d she says. \u201cBetter education for all children about\ntheir health \u2014 that\u2019s what I\u2019m drawn to the most. But I still have four years\nto really decide!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Enthusiastic\nabout her choice to attend Transy, she remembers what she told her younger\nsister who recently committed to being a Pioneer at Transylvania.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI think\nthat Transy will give you as many opportunities as you are willing to reach out\nfor: clubs, organizations, community service projects you can join any day of\nthe week. There\u2019s always something going on, always ways for you to get more\ninvolved. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThat involvement can also support your academics, which is something that Transy holds in high regard. By reaching out and trying new things \u2013 that\u2019s what the Transy community is about. Whether it\u2019s a new sport you\u2019ve never played before or organizations like SAB and Admissions. There are so many opportunities that will feed into you; and you can make your own path and do whatever you want with them.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
