Plans
After I finish high school, I plan to attend a 4-year university to study business. I hope to play intramural soccer and become fluent in Spanish in college as well. I have lived in Pittsburgh all my life and love it ever so dearly, however, I plan to attend a university in some other city. I specifically say another city because I plan to have a successful career in real estate development and a city is the ideal environment in which to do so.
