What's your name?
Midley Theork

What do you do in your free time?
During my free time, I like to hang out with my friends, play sports (basketball, soccer, softball and track), take a lot of pictures because I am interest in being a photographer as my main hobby as an adult, and to relax I like to read a book, watch a movie, and listen to music.

Describe what you're doing at RAP and how you feel about it. What's something cool or interseting you learned this week that you didn't know before?
Working in the lab, I am always learning something new every day. To be more specific, I am learning about the infectious disease called tuberculosis, known at TB, that about one-third of the world's population is affected with. The reason the number is so high and people aren't able to be cured is because of drug resistance. Because of two resistant, MDR and XDR, when an antibiotic is applied, it is not effective and only drug resistane cells live. My goal is to get a better understanding of the evolution of drug resistant cells, so I have many more to learn and many tests to complete. Learning this, I began to understand what am important summer I am about to have, for myself and my lab which doesn't fully understand drug resistance as well.

Tell me about yourself. ewhat kind of music do you like? What's your favorite color? What's your sign? What clothes do you like to wear?
I listen to all types of music; what catches my attention if often the beat or lyrics of a song.
My birthday is February 13, so I am an Aquarius, who are known to possess strong and attractive personalities. It was difficult choosing my favorite color, but because my birthday is the day before Valetine's Day and I am not a girly girl, I simply chose red.
I like to wear a variety of different clothes. There are days that I love to wear basketball shorts/baggy sweats and a tank top, while there are other days I like to wear a skirt or a short dress with high heels. I just like to be comfortable and relaxed no matter the moment.
Oh one last thing, I LOVE to smile! :)

What's your dream job?
My dream job is to work with infectious diseases internationally, so I can have the ablility to travel the world to enjoy myself while helping many people.

Final (very important) question: Pancakes? Waffles? French toast??
French toast of course!
