What are you most excited about this coming year?
“I am most excited about the independence and opportunities for self-direction that college will bring. In the coming year, I will be able to control my day-to-day schedule and allot my time and energy towards academic, social, and extracurricular pursuits in a way that most suits me.

With this time I hope to make more friends, accumulate more knowledge, and devote more time to my interests than I ever could, before.”
