I was told the number of undergraduates at Georgetown is relatively small. This is great because it would make me as the student gain a personal experience with my professors and other students that might be attending. One of the reasons why I chose health as a major is to contribute to the overall health of my community through my efforts and to also be on the front lines in the battle against sickness and

College was only hard since I struggled in school because of having an LD but I started off at Landmark College in ’09 and transferred a year later then came back a year after transferring, and during that time back at Landmark I had another surgery to move skin that was obstructing my left eye slightly, which went well.
