Kayla Moitui wants to save the world one child at a time.
The Easton Area High School senior hopes to be a pediatrician one day. And not just one who helps Easton area children.
She dreams of opening practices in this area and around the world focusing on low-income and underprivileged youths.
She got a big boost toward her dream when she was selected as a Stamps Scholar. The program will give her free tuition, room and board for four years at the University of Pittsburgh plus a $17,000 stipend for the independent academic pursuit of her choice. Only five potential Pitt Panthers out of 900 applicants won the scholarship.
