Breanna Wigington
The Columbus City Scene reports on a Pickerington High School North senior planning to study forensic chemistry at Ohio University.
After she graduates this spring, Pickerington High School North senior Breanna Wigington will be heading down to Ohio University with one heck of a résumé.
Over the course of her high school career, Wigington has immersed herself in a wide variety of programs, clubs, activities and interests, ranging from philanthropy, to science, to mathematics, to sign language, to theater….
Wigington has been taking a lot of college classes while in high school, mainly targeting general education credits, as well as in math and chemistry, which feed into what Wigington specifically wants to study in college. She aims to study forensic chemistry, with her sights set on eventually working for the Drug Enforcement Administration.
“I’ve always wanted to do law enforcement, but I don’t want to be a cop and go through all the training,” Wigington says. “So I thought I’d take the chemistry and science aspect and apply it to the DEA and forensic chemistry.”
Wigington says a main driver behind her decision to get into a math and science field in the first place was actually the motivation she gained from some of her teachers at North.
“It’s funny, because when I was younger, I always thought, ‘Oh, I hate math and science,’” Wigington says. “But then sophomore year, I had (the) best math teacher ever, and I realized that I really liked math. Last year, I had a really good chemistry teacher, and realized I’m really good at chemistry.”
