Learning as much as I can in as many fields of study as I could possibly pursue

I feel that progress and a pursuit to be the best version of yourself that you can be is a fundamental aspect of life that too few individuals aspire towards.  I believe it is this that leads towards innovation within yourself and for our society as a whole.  The more capable I am in regards to all these different sectors of studies: "Example: Medicine, Physical Therapy, Physical Fitness, Business, Science," then the more I will have to offer to everyone else around me, and the more I will be able to do.
