She was now on her way in pursuing her long time dream of be- coming a Medical Professional. She has been fulfilling her obligations academically and has recently participat- ed in two All Star Events where she volunteered at a Cobble Hill High School and most recently attended a Women to Women Health Fair located in Brooklyn. At both locations she assisted with Triage, blood pressure screening and obtaining patients’ medical history. She did such a great job that the Director of Community Af- fairs & Volunteer Services personally gave Rukhsana her business card and requested that Rukhsana be assigned an Internship at SUNY Downstate Medical Center Univer- sity Hospital of Brooklyn at Long Island College Hospi- tal. She will begin her internship on March 19, 2012 in the Pediatrics division of SUNY Downstate. Rukhsana also participated in our Speaker Series event which was help on February 22, 2012., where she pro- vided an overview of her experiences at the Allen School to a group of her peers and classmates. Rukhsana is well on her way to becoming that Medical Professional that she dreamed of and we are pleased to have her rep- resent the Allen School as the student of the month.

On Monday, Dr. Callman, instructor at the Allen School Jamaica campus, re- ceived a phone call from a 1 st MOD stu- dent of his, Erica Brown, she informed Dr. Callman of the following Incident: “On Monday 2/20/12 I was walking to get on the N4 Bus leaving the Allen School. I missed my bus and got on the next one. After being on the bus for 20 minutes and talking to my friend and her friend Anthony, he told us he was hungry. No more than 15 minutes later he suffered a seizure. Everyone looked at me because I was the one in the bright blue scrubs to help. Without giving it any thought I jumped up and grabbed his head, then laid him on the bus floor, he bit the inside of his tongue, but was still alert. The EMS Crew arrived and told me good job and that I have a good teacher and keep up the good work.” Student of the Month - online 2
