Regular updates from students in TRIP

Hi There! by Georgia Flego

I believe that TRIP will provide a comprehensive look at what research science entails, and will allow for a better understanding of not only how to function in this environment, but how to collaborate with others, appreciate and combat failure, and procure an understanding of what it takes to create an independent project.
Hello! My name is Georgia Flego, but everyone calls me Gigi. I’ve lived in Doylestown, PA for the past five years and I go to Central Bucks East, where I am headed into my senior year this fall. As far as favorite classes, my interests have always been a bit scattered; I’m just as happy studying filoviruses as I am crafting rhetorical essays. I just find such a fascination in the different ways that we are able to filter the world, and love how such filters often find a way to overlap. 
In addition to academics, I am a bit of a music nerd; I have played the piano since I was five, and sing in my school’s select women’s ensemble. In a sense, it is my catharsis, whether that is through playing/singing, or taking the long way home so I can loop Billy Joel’s “The Longest Time” for the third time in a row. 
For the better part of my time, when I’m not knee-deep in schoolwork, you’ll find me costuming for my school’s theatre group. On a whim, I joined the program this fall and now will be head costume crew chief this coming school year! My first show as chief will be in the school’s summer production of Nightfall, a collection of Edgar Allen Poe works. During the fall, I manage the girls’ varsity volleyball team. I cannot play to save my life, but I’ve got a knack for recording player stats, and have quite the repertoire of cheers. I also love taking a moment to breathe by hanging out with friends, watching Law and Order: SVU, and spending a copious amount of time with my dogs.

​It is crazy how we are essentially a fifth of the way through with the program, and I can hardly wait to begin a project of my own!
I wanted to be a part of TRIP, as I am not sure what type of future I see myself in. Most likely, I will be pursuing a career in STEAM, but have never had an experience where I can explore such interests in depth. When I found TRIP, I was relieved to find individuals who recognize that we are still students exploring our passions, and that our futures do not need to be defined just yet. I believe that TRIP will provide a comprehensive look at what research science entails, and will allow for a better understanding of not only how to function in this environment, but how to collaborate with others, appreciate and combat failure, and procure an understanding of what it takes to create an independent project.
