<p>My essay is about overcoming self-doubt (I used to struggle with it a lot) through kickboxing. I'm having a family friend (PhD in English from Harvard) look it over for me. It's still in the works, but once it's done it'll be fantastic. English is one of my strong suits.</p>
<p>I also am currently interning at a UVM research facility under the supervision of a very highly respected medical professional. The study I am working on deals with metabolism and Diabetes.</p>
<p>As of now, I want to major in Biology and minor in English. (or possibly double-major)</p>
<p>If you fabulous individuals happen to come up with any matches or reaches you think I could be interested in, I would absolutely love to see those as well. I currently have Tufts, Colgate, Northwestern, Case Western Reserve, and Brown (SUPER reach, I know) on my "seriously considering" list.</p>
<p>Thanks a bunch! :)</p>
