Clifford I. Argall Scholarship

Tara Taylor Mishtal

Athens, TN

My dream is to become a  Medical Laboratory Scientist. I have just begun my year of didactic Medical Laboratory training and can already report that my academics are off to a first-rate start. My plans at this stage are to continue making great grades,  learning all that I can to be the best MLS I can, possibly win the friendly competition that is being the best student throughout clinicals, and finally pass the American Society for Clinical Pathology national board examination in December. I consider myself  fortunate to be able to attend the University of Tennessee Medical Center’s MLS program.  My educational pursuits would not be possible without generous support from scholarship sponsors like your organization.  Thank you for enabling this opportunity!
