NAME: Katherine Delgado
Making the most of the opportunities that college offers starts with knowing, as much as
you can, about who you are and what you want. Analyze your "college self" using

to FIU to finish my major in Biology.
What goal, or goals, do you aim to achieve by going to college?

goal is to get a really good GPA and to pass all my classes with an A. My second
goal is to become an expert in Biology and Chemistry.

2. What do you feel are your biggest challenges in college?

know I will do my best to overcome my fear.
What do you like to study, and why does it interest you?
- I will like to study Medicine to become a Pediatrician. When I went to my country
for vacations my uncle who is a Pediatrician took me to the hospital because he
knows I want to study Medicine but I was insecure which specialty to pick. He
took me around the hospital so I experience how he works. I decide to specialize
with children suffering from leukemia and cancer, because I want to be a group
of doctors to find the cure for these deadly diseases. I will do my best I know that
with the support of my family I will become a good professional.
