My mission is to not to put my parents hard-earned money to
waste. To not be another static that attended a fancy college or university
only to graduate and stay idle for month’s possibly even years at a time with
out a job.
First and foremost I would like to see how far I could push
my body so I can thrive athletically and represent my country for the Olympic games.
This would be more than an accomplishment, more so like an honor to show my
parents that opportunities are endless.
I was in an
environment where negativity was so abundant that you would be criticized for
just having an idea for success. You would be ridiculed and scrutinized everyday,
chatter amongst students would sound something like: “ You wont make it, you
don’t have the ambition drive nor dedication.” Looking back now it is almost
funny to see where I have came from.
Aside from that I was always told education is important and
education will carry you further than sports. This is so true, however I find a
strong attraction in dealing with computers. Not your average kind of student
who sits around utters, “ Look at this cool trick I can do.”
I am talking about physically piecing together a windows
computer, powering it on and optimizing it for efficient performance.
Maximizing the RAM, pushing the processor to its limits and doing it all over
again. I have always thought to myself
as a child, how do things work? When I gained some insight on to whatsoever I
wanted to be knowledgeable about it stuck with me forever.
My dream would be to find balance between sports and
computers. These two are essential and needed for me to prosper and thrive. I would
not be able to sit in a cubical for nine hours nor could I deal with a job that
is physically demanding all the time. A hybrid of physical labor and intelligence.
