                    <p>I'm Andrew Simonson, a second year (third year standing) student at <strong>Rochester Institute of Technology </strong>
                        in the <b>Computer Science</b> BS program and am pursuing a career in data
                        science with a focus on predictive analytics.
                    </p>
                    <p>When I'm not in class, you can find me working on extra collaborative projects,
                        building discord bots, playing chess, reading up on some recent geopolitical
                        development, or in my dorm with a fat pint of ice cream.
                    </p>
                    <p>My main goal in life is to always strive to make the biggest positive impact on
                        the world that I can.  Regardless of whether that is done behind the scenes or
                        on the front lines, that is how I'll know I have purpose.
                    </p>
                    <p>I also value the ability to understand the world at large.  That awareness is
                        what grounds a person into reality and gives their place in the world value.
                        When I learn about geography or international politics, my favorite parts are
                        when I can understand the causality to shifts both in history and the present
                        because it presents an inside look into how we can learn from related events.
                    </p>
                    <p>There is no one single special interest that makes me unique, so it is my goal to
                        be the one with a collection of distinct interests and a knack for bridging
                        the gap between them.
                    </p>
