For Klerys Obregon, books and studying have always been her escape and safe haven. This is most evident in that she achieved Summa Cum Laude honors at Law Enforcement Officers Memorial High School's highly competitive magnet. She also earned her associate’s degree via the Early Admissions program at Miami Dade College.
For as long as she can remember, this brilliant and unassuming star has dreamt of becoming a doctor. She will begin this formidable field at the University of Florida, which was her first choice of the 20 universities where she was accepted. UF offered her more than $800,000 in scholarship money. She will be pursuing her passion at UF free of debt for four years as part of the Machen Florida Opportunity Scholars program. Even more incredibly rewarding, Klerys will be the first person in her family to attend college.
