My Introduction to WSO

Hello WSO community,

     I am currently a freshman at Texas A&M University with a strong desire and dedication to becoming successful in the finance industry. Currently, I have my eyes set on going into investment banking and I hope to use Wall Street Oasis and the amazing community here to grow as a young, motivated student aspiring to reach the highest levels of IB. I can't wait to dive into the extensive resources WSO has to offer and I am looking forward to networking and getting to know my peers and those ahead of me in this journey to expand my own potential while also making great relationships along the way!

You can grab as many silver bananas as you want for your glorious debutante

 

Thank you for the good wishes! I am going to switch to anonymously posted once I get three silver bananas. I believe, because it is my first post on WSO i need to hit that benchmark before I have the ability to post anonymously.
