I chose ODU because it was the best choice financially for me, and it lets me stay close to home while going to college. Plus, ODU has a lot of programs that fit what I want to do, so it just made sense. One of my favorite things to do is drive. I love driving because it’s so freeing you get to go anywhere and see so many cool places. Whether it’s just cruising around town or going on a road trip, driving is always fun and helps me clear my head.

Some of my hobbies are bowling, golf, and exploring. Bowling is a great way to hang out with friends and have a good time, especially when I’m trying to beat my best score. Golf is a little different, but I like it because it challenges me and it’s relaxing to be outside. Exploring is something I do whenever I have the chance. I love checking out new places, whether it’s a new restaurant, a park, or just driving around to see where I end up.
