Academically I am doing pretty well as I have straight A's this year and my GPA is improving, however I do need to improve my SAT scores for some colleges.  I also need to continue to improve my GPA to better my overall chances of being admitted to any one of these colleges. Last, I just need to become more involved in volunteer and extracurricular work prior to applying to any colleges.

I believe these colleges are all pretty good options for me, however I must continue to evaluate my best options for the career in which I will choose to pursue.  Currently, I'm leaning towards a career in art and it seems that UNT in Denton has the most to offer, however if I must continue to evaluate all options in case I find something that I feel will be even better for me.
