I have decided to major in Health Sciences at the University of Central Florida with a career in diagnostic medical sonography.

Thirdly, I chose this university because it has an Honors program with a good reputation, and fourthly, because UCF’s athletic facilities hold many exciting classes and features, such as courses in racquetball. Lastly, the University maintains a high reputation in the Orlando community for opportunities in learning, for academic excellence, and for student satisfaction. I am really looking forward to attending.
