Plans
I want to pursue higher-level education at a top college. I am not committed to one major yet. However, given how I have enjoyed doing projects and other works in STEM, I would likely major in something STEM-related like Engineering, Computer Science, or Pre-Med. I also would like to stay involved in the world of athletics, be it through playing, coaching, or even reffing. Sports have been a life-long passion of mine, and I can’t imagine myself ever completely quitting.
