My Longterm Goals
A personal short term goal of mine is to stay active and not slack off on my physical health. Exercising is the most effective way to put myself into a positive mindset.

Although I am not sure of a major yet, I know it is crucial to get a higher education in order to live a successful life. I am giving myself options as I apply to multiple schools, in which I believe will continue to constantly challenge and help me
