(2025·四川省乐山市市中区第一中学高三下二模)After watching her father struggle with weakness, pain and other issues for years before being diagnosed (诊断) with two serious illnesses, Muriel Metko knew she wanted a career in medicine. “I want to help patients like my father, to find better diagnostic tools and treatment plans，” says Metko, “I was passionate about pursuing studies in biology in preparation for medical school and UW­Eau Claire was the perfect place to do that.”

When Metko was still a second­year college student, Dr James Phillips, professor of chemistry, asked her to join his research team. She enjoyed it so much that when the first project ended, she joined Dr Jennifer Dahl's chemistry lab. As a student researcher, Metko has presented research at a national conference, and is working with Dahl and her partner on a paper for publication, things she never imagined doing before.

“As a freshman, I had my eyes set strictly on getting my M．D., but after doing research with Dr James, I knew it was something I wanted to continue with，” Metko says. “I wouldn't have decided to pursue an M．D.­PhD if Dr James hadn't recruited (录用) me.”

Through her on­campus research, Metko learned useful technical skills, as well as skills like problem­solving and perseverance, which are critical to be successful in the medical and research fields.

Last summer, Metko was selected to participate in the Undergraduate Research Employment Program (UREP) at Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesotu. And her summer research project was recently published in the journal STEM CELLS Traditional Medicine. Working at such a famous institution impressed her. Inspired by watching clinicians and researchers cooperate to develop the best diagnostic tools and treatment plans for patients, Metko will join Mayo Clinic's Graduate Research Employment Program (UREP) after graduation, and then attend graduate school to earn her M．D.­PhD, which can enable her to practice medicine and engage in research.

With a degree from UW­Eau Claire, Metko is confident she can achieve her goals.

(2025·山东省实验中学高三第五次诊断性测试)When my daughter Adina was born, I was convinced she'd be a cyclist. A cyclist's daughter has to love bikes, right? I looked forward to riding together with her and investing all the time needed to teach her. In return, I expected progress—not immediately huge steps, but at least some. But in our case, progress just didn't come.

When Adina was a year and a half, a friend gave me a child seat, allowing her to sit in front and enjoy the ride far more than kids sitting behind their parents. Together, we enjoyed long rides. “Bike！” she'd shout every time I started putting on my cycling gear, immediately running for
