Blog #3 - Option 1

I plan to attend a 4 year college directly after high school. This is because I understand how beneficial attending a college can be and I plan on using the opportunity to develop any skills necessary to pursue what I plan to do in life. In the future, I hope to have a job in which I better the world we live in and more specifically, individual lives on a personal level. I also plan on doing so while simultaneously doing something I enjoy. Whether or not I achieve

that through being an educator, a health/fitness trainer, a sports coach, or even an environmentalist. Majors I will most likely have include, Sport, Kinesiology, and Health Sciences, as well as Animal Science.
