Summary
I am an aspiring young man who recently completed my first year at Mississippi College. Although it didn't go as well I had hoped, the temporary setback leaves me eager to push forward in achieving my goals. I look forward to one day joining the ranks of diverse and innovative scientists and engineers to learn, innovate, and revolutionize research and development.
