About

One thing I've learned throughout my, seemingly, long years is that things change. Not just the people and the environment we live in but the person we are is constantly changing. For the longest time I fought against that. I never really liked change. But no matter how much I fought against it, it ends up happening anyways. Our interests, hobbies, likes and dislikes, and our aspirations seem to change with what we know and what we learn or try. Last semester my intended major was Exercise Science and, don't get me wrong I enjoyed it immensely and is still an interesting topic to me, this upcoming Spring 2017 semester I'll be studying Anthropology as my intended major. This is only a small example of changes I've made since accepting that change is OK. Change is what we make of it. I consider any Academic Changes I make to be an exploration of ideas and topics. It's nothing to be ashamed of.

Goals and interests

Career goal

I never really thought much about what exactly I would do for a job or career. I only ever really knew that I wanted to have a life that I didn't want or need a vacation away from. Doing a job that fascinates me and fulfills me while living a social life (or any life outside of work) that fulfills me as well. We all aspire for that and we shouldn't settle for anything less. I'm still figuring out careers and jobs I might want to pursue. From an active lifestyle in Exercise Science or something more adventurous and intellectually stimulating as an Archaeologist, or even Museum Curator

Graduate school interests

As of right now, if I were to attend Grad School, I would want to study Museum Studies and it will be the path of pursuing Museum Curator or some other high museum position.
