Next year I will be beginning a new chapter in my life at the U of M.
I think goals are a good way to guide my college experience and expect them to change as I go through college.

Graduate high school
Go to college, pursue either biology or engineering
Do research in college
Meet people at college

goal cont:

Make connections to help me later in life
do things because I enjoy them, not out of obligation
be happy

This quote reminds me of a graduate student I worked with this past summer at a lab at ISU. She shared my sarcastic sense of humor and showed me that lab work can be pretty fun.

She was passionate and was so knowledgeable about genetics and biology. I learned the value of being meticulous with your work, and she inspired me to continue research later in life.
