“People think I’m a genius,” Hansberry said. “It’s not that at all, I just like medicine.”
Hansberry, a freshman bio-medical engineering student at FAMU, said after not winning in the science fair in the eighth grade, he teamed up with an administrator at Shands Hospital to create the innovative surgical procedure. Hansberry has continued his education in the field that caught his interest early on as a child.
Unlike most students, the 18-year-old Hansberry was no stranger to the hills of FAMU. Born in Tallahassee and raised in Jacksonville, Fla., Hansberry considers FAMU to be home.
“The joy that my dad has when he sees his friends, I wanted that,” said Hansberry, the offspring of FAMU alumnus Elder Tony Hansberry.
Like his father, a former Marching “100” member and King of Orange and Green, Tony D. Hansberry has the Rattler leadership venom in his veins. Hansberry presides as the freshman class senator and will continue to serve until his term is over.
Hansberry, like other first-time students, said he continues to learn how to balance school and extracurricular activities while he maintains his good grades.
“Make sure you know the priorities of school before you join any organization,” Hansberry said.
Being a full time student and freshman class senator requires a lot of time and networking, but Hansberry said he knows it is something he can master.
Hansberry said he was torn about changing his major from bio-medical engineering to chemistry, but now finds comfort in knowing that he has a clear definition of what he wants to pursue for the longevity of his career.
“I want to become a trauma surgeon,” Hansberry said.
Hansberry acknowledges that the career he has chosen requires dedication, plenty of studying and long nights, but he has the drive and will to get there.
“I don’t know how I’m going to get there, I just know I will,” Hansberry said.
