Do you remember what you were doing when you were 9 years old?  Probably thinking about school, homework, skating practice, soccer practice, hockey, enjoying the playground, bike rides with your friends? The list goes on.

Say hello to Aiden Wilkens from Pennsylvania.  Aiden is the youngest student ever to enroll at Ursinus College.  What’s he studying?  Anatomy and Chemistry!  His mother Veronica, said he was correcting people’s sentences almost as soon as he could speak.  While toddlers at his age were watching cartoons…Aiden was fascinated with the brain.  He wants to be a Brain Surgeon with the focus on pediatrics. 

AND, if Aiden stays on this path, he could make history.  According to the Guinness Book of World Records, the youngest doctor on record, is 17 years old.

Remember………Aiden is 9. He has a bright future ahead.  Sesame Street and studying for his anatomy and chemistry exams! LOL.
