While I've had some tough experiences, my past experiences helped show me what I'm capable of and will help me reach my goals by letting me know my limits and what I can and can't do.
In the future I want have a good family. A wife and some kids along with a nice house and two cars. I plan on achieving this by getting a good career, one that pays well. I'm not sure what career that will be so I’m just going with the flow. I’ll figure it out later.
A good future, that's what motivates me. Whenever I think about a good future I think to myself, I want that. It's going to be hard to get there but I want it. My dad also motivates me, he’s cool. He is really hard working, even though he didn’t go to college he has a really good career.
Money is obviously what makes me happy, but also playing video games and hanging out with friends. The types of things that make me feel good.
I think that the AAP is a good idea, it's a good kind of different. I like that there’s not many people. I’m not a fan of huge crowds so I prefer it over the main campus. Main campus may have more things to do but the AAP just seems easier and quicker to do than going to main campus. Being on main seems like a bit of a hassle.
