Have you faced any significant challenges? If so, please describe.

I have an appetite for learning that has occasionally caused me to get a little overwhelmed with commitment. School, Sports, Music and my family responsibilities and chores have caused challenges. As a result I have developed appropriate self discipline and time management to overcome. As a result, I am very engaged as a peer counselor at my boarding school. Many students rely on me for help.

What type of college are you looking for?

I ultimately want to be a BioEngineer. I am seeking a school that can help me continue in the foundation of learning in Biology, Chemistry and Physics while simultaneously teaching the applications of Engineering.
