My favorite thing is the pure competition.

My major is psychology.

 
What about psych do you like?

I like the abnormal side of it. Different kinds of diseases.

 
Somebody told me to ask you about your engagement.

Stay ahead in school. Keep up with your classes. That's the biggest change our team has to do coming out of high school.
