I am interested in this college because of many reasons. First reason is once again small, but very far away. The studies here are great and both of my careers that interest me are included. The cost of the college is not as high as many others. Also, very good education is given here.

Careers that interest me

          There are two careers that interest me in large amounts. It is that one is more interesting to me than the other, but I still would enjoy that career. The first career I'm interested is in mechanical engineering. Mechanical Engineering involves working hands on which I enjoy, designing, and involves using computers. All these put together allows you to use your imagination in many ways. After completing this major in college I would design things for example car parts or even the smallest parts, but those that change something in many ways. It involves at least 4 years of study, but it is helpful to take high academic classes in high school such as chemistry, biology, and mathematics. The things that interest me in this profession are I will be able to work on things or come up with ideas that will be used in the next generation.

What is important in a college?

      There are many things that are important when choosing a college. I believe that the college you go to can change so much. Many students including myself are trying to work as hard as they can during their high school career to get into a great college. Not only getting into that good college, I think the place matters. There are many colleges that some students can't focus due to going out too much or not studying. I believe it is important to go look at colleges before graduating high school and find the one that will fit the best with helping you study, but also be in a great atmosphere.

What is important?

       I, myself, Jacob Bucior have many things that are important to me when looking into a career and a certain college. In a career I believe there are many important things such as the enjoyment of the certain thing you want to study or do, but not only that, but the amount of money will be given to you. It is also nice to know the atmosphere that you will be working with such as the people around you and even the help when you need it. The video above talks about keys to choosing a career.
