“I’m going to Christopher Newport University, and I’m completely undecided about what I’ll study. I plan to do some exploring and find out what I’m into. In 10 years I’d like to have a good job somewhere, and be ready to start a family.”

“I’m going to George Mason in the fall to study biomedical engineering. My passion is working on prosthetic limbs, and I hope to find a way to make them affordable and high quality for everyone who needs them. In 10 years I’d like to be debt free, done with college and have a job and family.”
