How I chose my academic major and how earning this degree will impact my future goals
Business management is a popular degree among universities and to be considered for a place, many universities require candidates to have scored at least three As at A level (Stukalina 73).

Martha Graham once said, "Dance is the hidden language of the soul." Like Graham, I am in awe of being able to communicate through this silent art form. What continually inspires me to develop my knowledge of Dance is the impact that it has on the world, for everything that I am unable to put into words, so many new ways of expression are suddenly possible for me when I dance.
