Why UCF is my college of
choice
• "In 1963, the Florida legislature designated that a new
university were to be located in the east central part of the
state. I was appointed president of 1200 acres of pine trees
and a couple of lakes." -Dr. Charles Millican, 1965
• I have toured the college three times
• It is modern whereas places like UF are older
• It is the nation's second-largest school
• UCF is located less than 10 miles south of the Orlando
International Airport and just minutes away from the most
popular theme parks in the world.
• "All aspects of the curriculum include the most up-to-date
teaching and learning methods and technologies coupled
with established techniques used for centuries that are proven
and effective.“

My Career Plan

• A medical specialist who administers an
anesthetic to a patient before he or she is
treated. (Basically I will knock people out before
surgeries and other procedures)
• Major in biology or bio chemistry
• Ideally I would like to earn my associates of
science then transfer to University of Central

a masters degree, a doctorate degree, medical
school, and one year of residency at a clinic or
hospital
