My whole life has been a huge thinking game about what I want to do in life and now it's here. What do I want as my major? Despite going back and forth, I finally chose what major I want to pursue, and that major is economics. I mainly chose this major because it will prepare me the most for law school which I plan to do after receiving my undergraduate degree from West Virginia University. I am currently on track with my major, and over the next four years, I plan to take all necessary classes needed for my major and to help better myself for law school. Over the next decade, many things can happen, but I plan to become a lawyer and start my life in a different state far away from West Virginia. Choosing economics came pretty easy to me because I have always been interested in the concept of the economy and how the economy functions.

    From my undergraduate career at Case Western Reserve University, where I studied Economics, I learned a lot about myself in an academic sense. I learned that I was good at understanding complex concepts introduced in these classes. I found that I had a very deep interest in finding out how the business world works, and how different analytical tools can used to make sense out of data collected from our society. The economics classes that I took, along with a healthy side of mathematics and Russian language courses, helped me to shape the approach I have taken since graduation in May of 2013.…

    Personal Statement I grew up in a mainly Hispanic household, where all we spoke was Spanish. When I was hanging out with my friends I spoke more English than Spanish.

Also changing my personality to be more outgoing and creative to adjust to the life of a high student, was difficult since I used to be quiet and self-conscience. What made me different from everyone was that I became great at writing stories from any genre.…
