Yasha Puzankov
I am entering my senior year at Whitworth University at which I am pursuing a Bachelor's in Art with emphasis on Graphic Design while also pushing my skills in painting. My goal for the next year is to find ways of combining these two mediums to create unique and rare designs while simultaneously building up a strong portfolio until my graduation in May of 2013. As it is my plan to go to grad school, I will use my experience and all of my college work to allow me to take my art skills farther. Upon completion of grad school, I expect to start a career by working with a certain graphic design firm. After that, I intend to work in a team to produce professional designs for a living.

I just completed my first semester as a freshman at Wartburg College and it's been a great experience. I'm currently majoring in computer science, playing in the concert band, and am a software intern with Rockwell-Collins Avionics. In my free time, I like to snow board, long board, and lift weights. My current goal remains continuing to work in software development and my long term goal is to start and direct my own software development corporation.

As of fall 2012, I am a student at Whitworth University. I am pursuing a degree in Computer Science with a minor in business. Working with technology and computers has always had its appeal to me, and this gave birth to my dream of achieving a higher education in the field. With every day that I learn more about my passion, I am enabled to bring back my skills and talents to the community and inspire others around me. It is a great blessing to be able to learn, practice, and pursue my dreams as I strive to become a Computer Scientist and build a firm foundation in my life, starting with a solid career.

Andrew Healey
In the fall of 2012, I will be attending California Maritime Academy in Vallejo across the bay of San Francisco down town. Maritime is an academy that consists on about 900 students and offers 6 majors, one of which is Mechanical Engineering. I chose Cal Maritime because the school itself is a full time job that prepares you for the real world greater than any other college. I chose Mechanical Engineering because math is my favorite subject and I am a visual person. In today's world, engineers are in great demand, even in a country like Australia.

When I head off to St. John's University in Minnesota for the coming fall I am one of the few kids with a plan in mind of what I intend to study and a career path I am seeking to participate in. I am hoping to become a pediatrician after graduating medical school from John's Hopkins's University in Maryland. Before that though I plan to major in theology with a minor in biology or physiology, and in the same time period taking the necessary pre-requisites I need for pre-med.
