My greatest accomplishment was buying my own car at the age of sixteen. It taught me hard work and responsibility.

My short term goal is to get a newer car. Some of my long term goals are graduating with a doctorate and becoming a psychologist. I also want to get married and have a kid or two.

My biggest motivation are my parents. My parents didn't go to college, and this is what drives me to finish college. Being financially free also motivates me because I want to live without the stress of money.

I feel as though the AAP has a lot of negativity around it but honestly I'm happy that I'm in it. It's a nice smooth transition into college. It's easier to make friends because you see the same people everyday. You really get that one on one intimacy with your professors.
