After our field trip to NASA/JPL, I realized how much purpose I can find in aerospace fields – I wouldn’t have researched it by myself for a career, now it is more reachable. I’m going to college for robotics and engineering because of the rovers and the tech that I saw on that field trip!

The Focus Program was a good learning experience. It gave me insights as to the pros and cons of the Law and Social Justice fields, and put into perspective what I want to do in my career.

During our junior year Informational Interviews, I interviewed people from different sectors of business, like marketing and finance. I liked how they explained their jobs and what they do on a daily basis. I decided I want to go into finance for my career.
