Daniel is very passionate about college and already has a good idea about his future plans.I plan on applying to schools with aviation programs including Baylor University, University of North Texas, and Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University,” he said. Since I was a kid I’ve always been interested in aviation,” he said. “I’d like to study aviation business or maybe even music since I’ve been in the band for 5 years.”daniel 1
 
Daniel’s dream job is to be an airline pilot, however, no matter what path he ends up on, he knows college is in the cards for him. My parents are first generation immigrants from Mexico and they always raised me to try to do better than them,” he said. “I feel like college would open many doors to great careers that I could get in the future which could allow me to live a great life.
 
Daniel is a big CM fan and said, “It helps me know what I need to focus on during the school year so I can better prepare myself for college. My favorite feature is the ‘Tip of the Day‘,” he said. “I use it a lot because nobody from my family has graduated from college, and this really gives me information that is simple yet I didn’t know because nobody has the experience. I’d recommend it to anybody in high school looking for help to plan ahead for college. We’re so glad to be of service, Daniel! Congrats on your scholarship, you truly deserve it!
 
Yay, college!
