Hello, I am Walt. I am delighted to figure that I already have something in common with all of you; none of us are pursuing a major or career in science. For me personally, science isn’t my thing because of my experiences in high school. They weren’t bad per se, (I surely am not scarred for life) but I am just not intrigued by the narrow focus that usually accompanies scientific research. I prefer the big picture which is why I loved my macroeconomics class in high school. Seeing everything mesh together and the theoretical cause and effects on different markets definitely clicked in my head; therefore, I intend to major in finance and someday I want to work in sales and trading on Wall St. For motivation, my desktop background is the world renowned Charging Bull on Broadway St. in New York, NY. (pictured below)

I took this class mainly because I need the gen ed credit. However, I chose SC 200 over other science classes because of Andrew’s rate my professor rating. Although previous students of Andrew did not say this was an easy class, they did say it was very interesting and it was highly recommended. Also, when searching for classes to take, I liked how the class description stressed critical thinking because that is an important skill in any industry, especially finance. I don’t want to waste time or money and  Andrew’s class is a science course that will provide me with a greater understanding of the world and the valuable skill of critical thinking.
