For me, it is important that I successfully fulfill my dream in life. To begin, I should explain exactly what that is. I want to graduate with my masters degree in computer science with the accelerated program here at OU. Alongside that, I want to compete in a few years of music through the winters and summers. Afterwards, I would like to find a job in my specialty of choosing and on the side teach music at a local high school.
My dream is already coming to fruition because I am doing well in school, and competing in things. This summer I get to travel the country doing what I love doing which is music. My goal is by next winter to be teaching at Southmoore High School (where I had graduated from) and begin my journey as being a teacher on the side.
In a few years time, I will have my degree and will be finding some company to work for. I have no clue what I want to do with my degree because of how wide computer science is. Eventually I can pick something, but that time is not now. I think I am well on my way to achieving what I would call my American Dream. I would like to continue to ask myself if I am still on this path as every year passes. Sometimes its hard to notice you have gone off the deep end until it’s too late.
One thing I also want to consider is how may my dream change? Given a few years or even months, a person can completely change their goals. I do not anticipate that, but none-the-less I should be careful to not fully commit myself to something I no longer want. Hopefully looking back on this post I can see that I’ve reached whatever dream I have come to call my own.
