Richie Rich


My name is Richie, but I’m not rich.

Learning is where I get my niche.

Some say that I am very smart,

But, that’s because I work hard.

 

A doctor someday I want to be,

That was my plan since I was three.

My magnet high school is BioHealth

Where I am training for my career path.

 

I did a forum at Harvard Medical School

That for me was really cool!

I did a forum at Johns Hopkins University

The doctors there inspired me.

 

 I’m graduating high school in June.

Yippee! June will be here soon!

I’m going to college at USC…

I hope the university is ready for me!
