Anyone who knows me even a little bit knows where I'm going to college... VT!
College applications were pretty stressful for me this year... My parents really pushed for UVA but I never really liked it as much as VT. Although UVA has amazing academics, I just couldn't really see myself fitting in there, and when it comes down to it, even if I had gotten in I don't think I would've picked a school I didn't feel comfortable at.
The main reason I love Virginia Tech is the sense of pride and family that the students and faculty have. I've always had a lot of school/team pride and I can't wait to be around people who love their school as much as I do. Plus the food and the football team are great........ :D
Anyway, next year I'm going to be majoring in Philosophy and minoring in Environmental Sciences. People usually laugh when I tell them what I want to do with my life, and adults always tell me that I'm going to end up changing my mind. The truth is though, I don't think I will. I've always known that I want a law degree, and I don't think that's going to change!
What I would really love to do is combine my love for law and animals... hopefully I'll be able to practice environmental (specifically wildlife) law. My parents weren't too thrilled on the idea of animal/wildlife law... they don't really understand why I would fight for animals when there are so many humans suffering in this world. Honestly, I want to spend my life doing something I'm passionate about, and animal advocacy and animal rights really do mean a lot to me. If I decide to not practice law, I want to do something in Congress... hopefully I'll be able to start out as a legislative assistant... you never know where I might end up!
I can't believe we're only 7 days away from graduation. Its UNREAL! I really had fun in Comparative and it was definitely one of my favorite classes this year. I'm going to miss it so much!! Thanks for being such a great teacher, Mr. Stroud :)
