First Post

In response to the questions on Dr. Vaneman's blog, I decided to go to college because I want to become a successful person. I think that going to college will help me become smarter so that I can be a better citizen. I chose Converse because it was close to home and the idea that I can start a new part of my life while still having something familiar comforts me. Converse has a wonderful music program and that helped my decision since I intend to be a music major. Plus, huge factor in my decision to come to Converse was the fact that if I went to a school close to home I wouldn't have to get rid of my dog. I chose music because I have always loved being a part of the music programs in my schools and church. Music has just always been important to me, I grew up with it and it has helped me meet some amazing people. Being a musician for a living is one of the only jobs where you can get paid to entertain, teach, or help others by just doing what you love. I chose music because I know without it, my life would be totally different, and definitely much less exciting. To make a point, try and go one day without any music what so ever, that would mean, no ipod, no video games, no t.v., no radio, no humming, not even tapping would be allowed. Sounds like a pretty bleak world, doesn't it? Music is something that can affect your emotions like nothing else, and I chose music because I want to be a part of that. Now, for the important question; if I were a muppet I like to think that I'd be like Fozzie, happy, laid back, and adorable. ^_^
