I also studied SL Computer Science, SL Physics, SL Math and AB (AB initio) Spanish.

Goals and interests

Career goal

I plan to enter the Oil & Gas business with my B.S. in Geology for approximately 20 years. I do plan on going to Graduate's School to obtain my masters but have I am not sure when. After that I hope to work for research companies and hopefully work on extensive examination work related to Geology.

Graduate school interests

For Grad School, I hope to attend Colorado School of Mines. I was accepted during my Senior year of High School and unfortunately could not attend due to financial troubles. Another option that is of high interest is the University of Texas at Austin as it has an excellent Geology program.

Outside the classroom

I am passionate about many things. I love music especially and talking to people. I've been drumming for approximately 6 - 7 years now and continue playing to this day. I love experiencing different types of music and learning new rhythms, beats and styles. I'm also very passionate about building things. I build random contraptions that can vary from potato cannons, to desks and even to working on cars every once in a while with my father. All in all, I'm interested in discovering and learning new things.
