What were the deciding factors when choosing your major or area of study? Well, I was undecided on my major prior to starting college. While having a conversation with my college recruiter during my college visit, she helped me narrow down my interest towards food, nutrition, and agriculture which is closely connected to my goal of entrepreneurship and owning a restaurant.

What is a skill or experience you don't possess now but hope to leave college with? I hope to leave college with a better understanding of financial literacy and skills.
