G.O.A.L.S.

One of my biggest goals in school is to just graduate on time, with good grades, and no problems. I hope to have no issues with any of my schooling or issues with any class requirements. I plan on being on top of that my entire school career. A plan I have for this year specifically is to just not get Covid-19 and so far I am still on track for that. A goal of mine is to study abroad. When I was first finding out about the school I saw a study abroad program available at Oxford, which I am eager to do. I hope to get some kind of internship during my time here, just to help start building my professional connections. I hope to find some kind of club that interests me and where I can grow.
