At the moment, I have narrowed down my list of greatest interests to the areas of engineering and computer science, but that still allows for a wide range of fields. On top of that, I still have a long list of lesser interests, such as economics, math, foreign affairs, or physics. The extensive core curriculum solves both problems, since the diverse requirements give me the opportunity to explore my scattered interests, while simultaneously allowing extra time to decide which my primary interests to major in.

1. My philosophy of leadership is about collaboration and teamwork. Respecting and treating everyone the same, is key to supporting a good team atmosphere.
