I like to read, watch movies, listen to music, and go on walks What are your plans after high school graduation? My plans after high school are to attend Lycoming College to study history and religious studies. I chose this path because I felt it fit best for me and I love learning about history and religious studies. What do you see yourself doing and where do you see yourself living in 15 years? I see myself being a college professor wherever there is a demand for professors. Whom do you most admire and why? I admire my sister the most because she is the hardest worker I know, and one of the best people I know. In a sentence, what is your philosophy of life? Give your all, you only get one chance.
