Majored in Accounting. As a result of my education, I wrote and passed my entrance exam to the Certified Management Accountant program but deferred for a year (then changed direction). Also enjoyed languages (French, Spanish, Russian, Japanese).
This is my high school education. Probably considered not overly telling for someone at my stage in his/her career.
