Introduce Yourself Assignment
Yo soy Boricua...
I was born in Puerto Rico. When I was four, I moved to upstate New York (where it's almost nothing but farms, not near the city), and recently moved back to Puerto Rico when I was 16.
I'm majoring in Environmental Engineering
...because, why not help the environment and everyone within it?
How I view Excel
I chose to become a part of Excel because there were really no negative effects. I applied thinking that the benefits could only help promote my education.
From what I've read and experienced so far, I believe Excel will help me succeed in my first year of college because it will help provide a network of like- minded people with various potential opportunities; a resource of many that will assist with questions about the STEM field, will be studying similar objectives, and will help me focus and continue on what I want to major in.
A unique fact about me.
I was an Irish dancer for 10 years. I would have continued but I had to quit in Puerto Rico as there are no Irish dance academies on the island.
