Major(s) of all individuals presenting this work Bio of all individuals presenting this work I am Ali Rezk, a senior at the high school in North Bay Haven. I'm fascinated by the pursuit of medicine and hope to pursue a career in it. I am originally from Egypt and fluent in Arabic. I will be the first generation in my family to attend a college in the United States. From my school, I had the pleasure of being in a club called MRC (Medical Reserve Corps), where I worked with a tight-knit team alongside our mentor Michelle Butcher, who got us volunteer opportunities by organizing blood drives at our school, raising money for the Hawaiian wildfire in 2024, helping law enforcement with safety drills, help in publishing a coloring book for children going through emergencies, and a plethora of other fantastic opportunities outside of the classroom. Four others are on this team, and we have won awards, making this my favorite project in high school. Alongside this, for pleasure, I play soccer and tennis, enjoy traveling, and watch movies at the cinema with loved ones around me. My goal is to visit almost every country in the world and become a world-class doctor. Poster Title Abstract A myriad of studies have been conducted to show the correlation between students who speak more than one language and their academic success; however, it does not show what motivates students who speak more than one language to succeed in school. Many of these multilingual students are either first- or second-generation students and have to watch their parents struggle to build a better future for their children. Substantial studies have proven that students speaking more than one language tend to have more academic success because their minds are more adept at absorbing new information. Additionally, students who can learn a new language while attending to other studies have improved their academic performance. Understanding more than one language has indisputable benefits to the human psyche. The human brain can learn and store more information than one believes. Speaking more than one language in high school has proven to give high school students an advantage in academics. Still, it can also negatively affect academics due to problems like communication lagging and feeling left out, socially, sometimes. In my research, I plan to pivot from that consensus and emphasize the external factors that motivate students to know more than one language and the level of success it has brought them in academics and life.
