Expectations Essay
In my life i have liked both Technology, and Music. I know how to work well with computers and any kind of technology when it comes to phones, game systems, laptops, Televisions, inside of a computer, and anyother home or handheld devices. I really love music, its my life. I like to listen to Rock music which got me into playing the drums, and im good at it. I would play the drums mostly everyday when i was at my cousins house in Florida. Drums are a kool and nice talent that i enjoy to the fullest and maybe one day i could join a band.
My mother and father are very proud of me for my accomplishments i made in life. It was really my dad and my mother who got me into Technology, my father knows well about technology since hes a buisness man. My music life was my stepfather, he was the one who introduced me to Rock music and the Drums since he was a drummer himself. They all expect me to do good in school and become what I wanna be in life and stick to it.
I do have my plans set in life so far. I want to finnish high school and hopefully by then i will have my choice of either working with computers and technology or become a drummer and try to join or make a band and become famous. Then after i finnish high school i wanna go to college for my career. Then after i finnish college with all my degrees, i will follow the path to my career and hopefully it will become a big sucessful decsion for me.
