Focused on his exam

When he was 16, Walter was told that he was capable of studying chemistry at college. Because of the encouragement he received, he was able to stay focused on his studies. In his second year of high school, however, he also found biology really interesting; so instead of pure chemistry, he decided to apply to colleges with strong biochemistry programs.

Now Walter is on track to do well in his exams.
