class=\"ls-l ls-text-layer\" data-ls=\"showinfo:1;fadein:false;position:relative;\">Kassidi Bagley is excited to be participating in the Advanced Medical Neuroscience Internship this summer. She is excited to have the opportunity to work directly with doctors to learn more about neuroscience and ethics.<\/p><p style=\"top:295px;left:48px;text-align:initial;font-weight:300;font-style:normal;text-decoration:none;font-family:Montserrat;color:#000000;width:690px;font-size:12px;line-height:16px;white-space:normal;\" class=\"ls-l ls-text-layer\" data-ls=\"showinfo:1;fadein:false;position:relative;\">As a rising senior at Troup County High School and Thinc College and Career Academy, Kassidi is a hard-working student that is in both Advanced Placement and Dual Enrollment classes. At Troup, she currently holds the position of 2023 class president. She is also a part of Troup High AFJROTC, where she holds the highest rank and position in the Corps. Kassidi also participates in HOSA at Thinc College and Career Academy, in which she is in the running to be an officer next year. This summer she is very proud to be hosting and sponsoring a summer book club for young children in her community. She also participates in a young women\u2019s empowering group called EmpowHER Mentoring Inc.<\/p><p style=\"top:423px;left:48px;text-align:initial;font-weight:300;font-style:normal;text-decoration:none;font-family:Montserrat;color:#000000;width:690px;font-size:12px;line-height:16px;white-space:normal;\" class=\"ls-l ls-text-layer\" data-ls=\"showinfo:1;fadein:false;position:relative;\">In the future, Kassidi would like to study neuroscience. Specifically the neurological disorders and how they develop. Her interest in neuroscience comes from her younger sister who was diagnosed with shaken baby syndrome at 7 weeks old, and autism later on in her life. Growing up with a sibling who had neurological disorders, she became interested in the causes of these disorders and possible cures of them. She hopes to help further research that will help, if not cure, neurological disorders, and start a non-profit organization that will provide support for people with these disorders and their families. Kassidi aspires to pursue a career in neurosurgery in order to help as many people as she possibly can, while also constantly researching neuroscience and neurodevelopment.<\/p><a style=\"\" class=\"ls-l\" href=\"#next\" target=\"_self\" data-ls=\"showinfo:1;fadein:false;position:relative;\"><p style=\"top:570px;left:48px;text-align:initial;font-weight:600;font-style:normal;text-decoration:none;color:#ffffff;line-height:30px;width:690px;font-size:20px;font-family:Montserrat;white-space:normal;\" class=\"ls-text-layer\">Read more about Kassidi's achievements here.<\/p><\/a><\/div><\/div><br \/>\n<script type=\"text\/javascript\">jQuery(function() { _initLayerSlider( '#layerslider_104_31nwf4tnfvcw', {createdWith: '7.2.2', sliderVersion: '7.2.2', allowFullscreen: true, autoStart: false, startInViewport: false, keybNav: false, touchNav: false, skin: 'v6', sliderFadeInDuration: 350, navPrevNext: false, hoverPrevNext: false, navStartStop: false, navButtons: false, showCircleTimer: false, autoPlayVideos: false, rememberUnmuteState: false, useSrcset: true, skinsPath: 'https:\/\/lichangesummer.org\/2022\/wp-content\/plugins\/LayerSlider\/assets\/static\/layerslider\/skins\/', performanceMode: true});
