A Look Into My World

Summary

I am currently enrolled in Valhalla High School in El Cajon and will be a senior next year. I like to think I am a pretty fun, happy person. What I may lack in outgoingness, I make up for in positive attitude and joy. I am looking forward to college very much. I would like to go to school outside of California, or if not, a school where I can live in. I believe that living independently in college away from parental influence is a valuable experience for life outside of school and should be practiced by everyone in my position. I am interested in UC Irvine, the University of Washington, and the University of Oregon. I have looked in to all of these schools and have determined they are all very good schools and also that all of them would be beneficial to what I want to do. Although I am mostly undecided, I am leaning towards majors in either marine biology, ecology, or business. I have always loved sea life and the ocean itself being raised in San Diego, and business majors can go into a variety of careers so I believe it would be good to learn in the case that I find I do not like the original major I chose.
