It is about that time in my life that college becomes a hot topic.
Where do I want to go? Where can I get in? Can I play sports? Do they have the sports I want to play? Where is it? How big is it? What do I want to study?
So many questions and ultimately all of these questions have to be answered to narrow down the long list of schools to one.
Recently I have been doing some research and I have started to look at schools so I started to put a list of schools together so it is all laid out.
College | Location | Sports |
Texas Christian University | Fort Worth, TX | FootballHockey |
Duke University | Durham, NC | FootballHockey |
Stanford University | Stanford, CA | FootballHockey |
University of Southern California | Los Angeles, CA | FootballHockey |
University of Pittsburgh | Pittsburgh, PA | FootballHockey |
Brown | Providence, RI | FootballHockey |
Chapman University | CA | FootballHockey |
Boston University | Boston, MA | FootballHockey |
University of Denver | Denver, CO | Hockey |
Vanderbilt University | Nashville, TN | FootballHockeyLacrosse |
Northeastern University | Boston, MA | FootballHockey |
Northwestern University | Evanston, IL | FootballHockey |
CU Boulder | Boulder, CO | FootballHockey |
University of Oregon | Portland, OR | FootballHockey |
Johns Hopkins University | Baltimore, MD | FootballHockey |
In the coming months I will be adding and deleting schools as I compare and contrast the pros and cons of each on the list, and as I discover other schools that will fit into my plan.
I am looking at majoring in either Molecular Biology, Human Biology, Kinesiology, or Sports Medicine.
I have wanted to become a doctor for a very long time.
I want to be able to introduce myself as Dr. Keaton Shiffman, having that prestigious M.D. at the end of my name.
My ultimate dream would be to be a team physician, working on the field or on the ice with the best football or hockey players.
I know that has gotten very specific, but I feel that if I stick to what I want to do that I will make it happen.
As much as I don’t think I will be able to come out of my school and play high level intercollegiate sports it is always worth a try.
The worst thing that could happen is I won’t play, but best case scenario my dream comes true.
