Well I have decided this next fall term to enroll in a 2 year degree program at the local community college.

In 03 when I graduated from high school I had a 4 year university lined up and a scholarship. I was too depressed though... I knew this country would be going through hard times after I saw george bush getting elected. Maybe I was just too butthurt to do anything (things after were not THAT bad). But too top it off I lost faith in our country the day the towers fell. The lives lost were not just the people falling from out of the building, I lost my life too. Even though despite that attack we have survived and done OK since then... Recently I have been seeing things are starting to seriously make turns for the worse. I realize now this country needs my help. Every person out there should get some kind of education, and try to find a place in this crazy world... I really need this. Some kind of success under my belt. So by the way if anyone out there could just keep me in their hearts prayers whatever. That'd be cool.

So since 03 I have just been working here and there, just basically surviving. I have no money, a little debt, and I feel like I really need emerge from my current ways... I think this is the last chance I have. My middle class parents have helped me out their entire lives, and I took advantage of that up until about 2 years ago. I started trying to depend on them less and less, because things are so hard they need every little bit of money they used to be able to help me with. And I love them.

So I hope everything works out. And in 2 years I graduate with my degree. Which will be in CAD 3d design drafting ect. And I hope to start building a career and find a good job. I have been waiting also for the right time because I want to design green energy things. And I think after this oil spill, now, more than ever it's time to say forget all the details of whether or not this movement will save our economies (because our problems are so big now who knows), we have to do everything we can to start saving our planet. The global warming thing is just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to problems with our current energy solutions. Maybe I don't get the chance right away, but it's the main reason I stay hopefull. To have that chance... To help. I'm really counting on it. Praying every night, trying to stay as positive as possible. And if an opportunity like that comes my way someone better punch me in my face if I don't stay true to myself, and stay true to our mission as humans to advance our technologies and to produce really cool stuff.

So I hope my attempt at this degree is a win, and I hit the ground running. After I get this first year out of the way, stay on top of my schooling, then the second year is going to be awesome. Then when I graduate I hope to find a job that I can keep learning and keep pushing the envelope.

I hope we can rebound (our nation, and our people), and I know everyone has their own very personal struggles in life to tackle right now. Right now the younger guys like me who have put real life off for too long, this is our moment. Time to get serious and make it happen right guys? We can do this. We have to do this. I can't count on OBAMA to fix everything. Or the next president. This dream and it's glory is in our hands. I finally realize... There is no easy way out. So I wish you luck, and I hope... You wish me luck as well. And not death and epic fail because I turned down a scholarship to a university. I hope you understand where I'm comming from. I did what I did, because I have a really big heart, and it hurt really really bad for so long. But now I am not the only one hurting... So in a wierd way it gives me strength.

Lets fix our lets then lets and and in the end lets hope we all just find some way to
