As I kid, I wanted to be …
… an NFL player. I assume that every kid who is into sports has a dream of making it to the league.

Public policy is a very crucial aspect in the world today. My major in policy management allows me to effectively analyze and create policy changes.
If I could have dinner with anyone, living or dead, it would be …

On choosing Dickinson:
The people on my visit at Dickinson separated themselves from the people at other colleges. Dickinson students are the best, and they have made my experience a great one.
