Etoile Chelsea Theinkeu Earns the 2023 Laborde Earles Injury Lawyers Cancer Scholarship

Laborde Earles Injury Lawyers’ Cancer Scholarship recognizes the dedication and expertise demonstrated by college students pursuing degrees in medical and medical-adjacent fields. This year, the firm congratulates Etoile Chelsea Theinkeu on being selected to win the academic scholarship of $2,500.

Ms. Theinkeu currently attends the University of Southern California, majoring in Human Biology with minors in Business and Public Health. Her essay, “Safeguarding Public Health: a Call for Stringent Regulation of Cancer-Causing Ingredients in Consumer Products,” stood out thanks to its framing device, passion, and foundation in practical research.

All About Etoile Chelsea Theinkeu

Ms. Theinkeu has long emphasized an interdisciplinary approach to the study of medicine. Her dual minors in Business and Public Health reflect her interest in marrying the principles of management and hard-hitting medical research.

She also takes a uniquely critical approach to the field of medicine, highlighting the social determinants that impact a person’s ability to access the care they need. Ms. Theinkeu has used this intersectional lens to approach her undergraduate studies with a honed critical mind. She intends to take that lens with her as she graduates and applies for medical school.

Ms. Theinkeu participates in extracurriculars outside of her medical studies, many of which see her giving back to her community. She regularly volunteers at her local food pantry and maintains an internship at her local hospital.

A Masterfully-Crafted Essay on the Regulation of Cancer-Causing Ingredients

Ms. Theinkeu’s Cancer Scholarship essay stands out for a myriad of reasons. In her address to Illinois’s senators, she systematically outlines the faults in today’s cancer care and research. She highlights the medical industry’s lack of transparency, need for rigorous testing, and want for new legislative support as ways to better control the flow of cancer-causing products.

Ms. Theinkeu presents this information, compiled from systematic research and references to her own classroom experiences, with a strong sense of personal justice. The pathos she uses to deliver this message ensures that her thesis statement remains accessible, even in the face of more technical language.

Moreover, Ms. Theinkeu’s mastery of language makes the essay a joy to read. Readers close out of her essay feeling as though an actionable path to better-regulated cancer-causing ingredients is straightforward. That ability to marry comprehensive research, personal expertise, and moving rhetorical devices speaks highly of Ms. Theinkeu’s professional skill set.

Ms. Theinkeu’s Sources of Inspiration

Ms. Theinkeu found herself inspired to write about her desire for the stringent regulation of cancer-causing ingredients after witnessing the impact unchecked products had on both individuals and communities. She cites first-hand experiences in her essay as one of the many forces behind her desire for improved product regulation.

She also wants to ensure that the medical community she steps into takes active steps to protect individuals and communities from harmful substances. Ms. Theinkeu wants to leave a mark on the medical industry by making it a better aid to people in need.

Last but hardly least, Ms. Theinkeu says that her mother is the biggest source of inspiration in her life. According to Ms. Theinkeu, her mother “embodies strength, resilience, and unwavering love. Her tireless dedication to her family, her unwavering support, and the countless sacrifices she has made have shown [Ms. Theinkeu] what it truly means to be selfless.”

Ms. Theinkeu Aims to Use Her Education to Change the World of Modern Medicine

Ms. Theinkeu is set to graduate from the University of Southern California in May 2025. As mentioned, she intends to take the lessons she’s learned throughout her undergraduate career and medical extracurriculars with her as she applies for medical school. Ms. Theinkeu one day hopes to put her intersectional approach to medicine into practice as a medical professional.

“Let us stand united in advocating for rigorous testing, comprehensive labeling, and transparent disclosure,” Ms. Theinkeu’s scholarship essay concludes. “Let us harness the power of research and expertise to establish regulations that leave no room for ambiguity.

Let us champion the right of every citizen to live in a society free from the constant threat of cancer-causing ingredients in their daily lives.”

The reassurance from Digger and his staff gave me that renewed hope that it’s going to be okay down the road.
