History

Our motivation.

As college students, we know how confusing it can be to choose a college degree when you're in school. In the same way that at that time we would have liked to have someone to talk to, now we want to help high school students find their calling. Therefore, we are interested in being able to provide advice and support to future university students during their decision-making process.
