Blog 3: Option 1

I would like to attend college because I believe that there are many advantages, not only economically, but to gain life experience as well. Right now what interests me the most would be a job in the medical field because the way the human body functions is interesting to me and I care about helping others. Some majors that are interesting to me are Kinesiology  , Biology, and General Health Sciences.
