"I want to help my community through science and medical research," he said.
Which answer choice BEST supports the idea that Russell Joseph Ledet plans to use his work to improve the lives of people with experiences similar to his?
A
You might say Ledet himself is his own wildest dream, choosing a career in medicine and scientific research when he never even thought he was smart enough to go to college. After serving in the U.S. Navy for almost 10 years, he completed an undergraduate degree in chemistry and biology and a Ph.D. in molecular oncology.
B
After boot camp, the Navy relocated him to Washington, D.C., and later Pensacola, Florida, where he trained in cryptology. This is the study of coded messages or secure communication. It has real-life applications today with transmitting electronic data and information.
C
He applied and got into a Ph.D. program at New York University in New York City. Ledet studied oncology, or the study of cancer. Specifically, he studied molecular oncology, which combines chemistry with the study of cancer at the genetic level.
D
With his medical degree, Ledet wants to focus on child and adolescent psychiatry so that he can help children who struggled like he did as a youth. "I know I am not the only one who went through tumultuous stuff," he said.
