Looking Back/ Overall Insight
I have taken a very different approach than most students at the University. I have been building a company Called SYRCH Inc. since my Junior year of high school when I first came up with the idea and began building out the concepts of the software. Coming to the University I did not know what I wanted to study exactly. My interest lies in business and technology. I took all of the pre recs for the Business School and the School of Information. Deciding not to apply to the Business School last minute and then a year later rejecting an offer from the School of Information to focus on my company. I have been taking mostly classes that have help me further my knowledge to move my company forward. I am now declared in the School of General studies with a certificate in Entrepreneurship. I believe many classes I have taken helped me with my internship. For example, in an Entrepreneurship I learned to build a power point to display a business idea. I pitched an idea to my manager that I used the Bplan PowerPoint framework that I learned in that class. Although I do not believe the Entrepreneurship class was technically an LSA course, LSA gave me the flexibility to engage and take that course.

It's not often that a student turns down opportunities like being in the School of Information; it sounds like you know what you want and what path will take you there. Good luck!
