I decided to join the Medical Academy because I want to become a nurse after high school. I believe the Medical Academy is a better choice than the traditional high school path because the academy trains you on something you are going to do after high school. For example, I learned CPR, medical terminology, and I trained and became a CMAA. In training to become a CMAA, I gained experience in working in an office. I can also work as a CMAA while in college. Currently, I'm working on becoming an EKG technician.
