Describe your academic and career goals.
After graduating high school, I plan to further my education at either Kansas State University or Benedictine College. I will continue to be a leader in the classroom, maintain a 4.0 GPA and be involved on campus in the Newman Center and various student organizations and clubs.

With more scholarships and less debt to worry about, I can choose a college and career in which I can make the most difference rather than solely where I can make ends
