HACKING MY EDUCATION

     I would like to attend a college where I can receive a liberal arts education.  Even though I am on the math and science career track, a liberal arts education means that I will be continuing on with my education in literature and the humanities despite my major.  For this reason, I will still need to develop a breadth of knowledge of literature and the humanities in high school to prepare my mind for those courses in college and any meaningful and educated discussions about literature that I may have with future colleagues.  My preparation for my math and science major in college is already solid.  However, I need this class to expand my skills in literature, writing, and vocabulary to meet the challenges of college next year.  In my network, I need people who are interested in math and science, but who also realize the importance of a well-rounded education in literature and the humanities as well as guidance from those whose sole focus is literature and the humanities.
