    Notably, my goal after high school is to further my education with schooling by either attending Grand Valley, MIchigan State or Central Michigan University. My career choice is to major in Diagnostic Medical Sonography or major in a fashion career, which are two very different career choices. It really all depends with which college has the best programs to me, but if i decide to go into the medical field I’d like to attend Grand Valley State University. I thought Diagnostic Medical Sonography would be a good career choice for me because I found ultrasounds really interesting and how you’re able to see either a baby or something that is wrong when you get injured. With my other career choice, I’ve always had a huge interest in fashion, and a lot of the clothes and designers today have impacted me and it’s a big inspiration with what I might want to do for the rest of my life.…
