There are probably more things I could list. I can’t think of anything else I would put down on an application. I’m a vegetarian, by choice 2-3 years ago. I lived my life the way I wanted to; I have never represented anything that was insincere. I hope I’d have good chances with the perfect ACT and devotion to hockey. Either way, I have no regrets. I’m very satisfied with my life at this point.

Thank you for your input.
