| I have always been fascinated by the various fields of science and their unknowns. Chief among my interests being Physics and Neurobiology. Aside from that I also am also very involved in my school and local communities. I am a member of the Interact Club, the Junior Achievement Program, the Newspaper Committee and although I don't get to nearly enough, I love to fence as well. My main interest in life is probably aviation though and I truly love everything about it. Last summer I was one of a small group of Cadets who receive their Private Pilot's License during an 8 week summer training course. This coupled with my interest in Engineering and Aerospace in general, has dominated my career interests and is the reason why I would like to become an aerospace engineer as well as a Commercial pilot, just for fun, of course. Between my involvement in science fairs and aviation, I don't have much free time left, but when I do get have some time to myself, I love to read, play video games, listen to music and of course, spend time with my friends. |
