One of my biggest goals is to finish my first semester in college with a grade point average at or above a 3.5. Another one of my goals is to get back on track with me giving back to my local community. Lastly, I want to reach my goal of getting a tutor and understanding biology better than I do, because that is not a strong point for me.
