About
I am a physics major at Appalachian State University, and my main goal is to get the best possible education by getting the most out of my classes before I try to decide where my future will take me. For now, I only know that I will try to make it as far as possible in my physics education to find the limits of what I am capable of understanding, and once I know those limits (if I find them before getting some sort of doctorates degree) I will then figure out what I can do with what I have given myself, and thus decide on future jobs and occupations.
Honors and awards
-
Chancellor's List
Apparently second semester GPA (3.9) was good enough for the Chancellor's list too
-
High Honors
Graduated high school with a 4.2, good enough to get high honors
Goals and interests
- Career goal
None so far but in general, it will be whatever I can contribute to the field of physics based upon where my education gets me.
- Graduate school interests
If I can make it through my undergraduate degree, I will continue on to graduate school to continue learning physics. I may stay at Appalachian State University, or I may go on to another school to continue my studies. Where I go for grad school will be based upon how distinguished of a physics student I am after my undergraduate degree.
- Outside the classroom
Running, swimming, learning math that I don't need to learn, trying to learn new languages (Spanish right now), reading modern physics books, learning philosophy.
