I feel like I am inspired by my seniors with each year passing. Although I am still unsure about the career path I will take but, I think know which major I will choose. The major I have in mind is computer programming and computer science. I chose these

    As a high school senior, the question I am most used to hearing is, “where do you want to go to college,” and my habitual response is the Wharton Undergraduate School of Business at the University of Pennsylvania.

I am an aspiring investment banker and international business executive and am intrigued by mergers and acquisitions, investment banking from an international perspective, and the effect of international events on the global economy and the ensuing effect on corporations.…

    University of Madison-Wisconsin is unique in that it’s the only school located in our state capital. Therefore, some reasons I would like to attend this university would be because of its academic diversity, location, and size of the campus.

I favor this because then, if I end up changing my major or wanting a certificate, I wouldn’t have to switch college because Madison is full of many different academic options.…

    I liked to program, but was beginning to have doubts about whether or not I wanted to spend the rest of my life doing that. During the summer, before my last year of high school, I helped teach a summer course to middle school age students that dealt with engineering and robotics. This allowed me gain an even great love for the engineering path — helping the younger kids learn how to program build their own robots really was an enjoyable experience. The final nail in the coffin to the idea of me becoming a professional programmer was when I finally started the fourth and final STEM class, Digital…
