I was extremely excited to try out the Hot Air Balloon & that was the 1st thing I did when I got there.
It was quite an experience as I was my 1st time. The view from above was amazing as I get to have a clear view of the entire campus.

Right after the ride, I head over to the multipurpose hall to check out the many courses offered by Taylor's.
Many booth were set up nicely and counselors were greeting us with a warm smile on their face.
Out of the many booth that were scattered all around the hall, School of Medicine caught my attention.
Without hesitating, I went towards the booth and I was greeted with a warm welcome from one of the counselor. She sat me down on a table and carefully explained the various field in pursuing Medicine.
