My Accomplishments In College

It started when I was around six years old. I was riding my scooter down my driveway when my brother and I decided it would be a fun idea to race around the block. We went inside the house to ask our dad, and then we soon began to walk. As I pushed myself up the hill, I thought about what I wanted to do when I reached the top.

So, I opted to take Chemistry instead. As I mentioned briefly before, since I’m currently taking all of the offered honors classes, I will eventually run out of options by junior or senior year. In other words, I can’t maximize my classes to the extent in which I would like
