After High School
After high school I plan to pursue a career in the music buisness, more specifically as a recording engineer. There are various reasons for my decision, but three of the most important one are; I'm very involved in music now, I have found a good music school which I am looking into, and I know there are a lot of opportunities for people with a recording engineer degree.

First of all, my stepbrother introduced me to music at an early age. It was at about the age of 12 my stepbrother would always listen to rock music and play his guitar along to his favorite songs. He had been trying to teach me for a long time how to play the guitar, but I just could not get the hang of it. Later, my mother enrolled me into private lessons that were being thought by the guitarist of a fairly popular progressive rock band in Mexico called "anchla'. I picked up everything he taught me. I learned how to play the guitar quickly. He told me that the problem with the way that my brother was trying to teach was that he would only try to teach me songs and not the basics of the guitar which was I needed. When I got into high school I joined the guitar class and quickly moved onto advanced and then into performing, and I am now helping the instructor teach the songs to the other students. I am in a rock group that doing pretty well right now.

My second reason is that I have found a good music school that I am looking into. It is called Full Sail and it is located in Winter Park Florida. I stumbled into this school while surfing the web. What first caught my eye was that it had a wide variety of music programs and degrees available. I looked into the recording engineer degree program they had and I was the one that interested me the most. This course cost about $27,725 for tuition. It takes about one year and eleven months to finish this course, four hours a day, six days a week getting only Sundays off. Another thing that caught my attention was that I do not have to take the ACT's,

    Ever since I was a little girl, I’ve observed people playing music around me. My family is musically inclined, which I believe is the reason I’ve been drawn to it. In 2006, I began taking guitar lessons but I never had much interest in playing. Things changed in 2009, and I wished to be different. I wanted to be good at something so I began to teach myself guitar and have stuck with the guitar until now. In 2010, I began to play on my church’s worship team and I enjoyed it very much. I have now been a worship leader for the past four years and it’s something I love to do. I love it so much that for the past two years I have gone to Camp Electric to improve my skills. Camp Electric is a rock and roll music camp where musicians pick an instrument and they participate in workshops with that instrument. This camp is filled with people who love music and who love playing music. I have such a passion for playing that I have begun teaching guitar lessons and now I am expressing music with my patients in order to achieve a goal.…

    I wanted to be like all my other friends and play the clarinet, but instead I was chosen to play the flute. I did not understand at first why Mr. Peirce wanted me to play the flute, I thought it was complicated and would be difficult to function. We started by fingering and playing one note at a time repeatedly until each note was well played. Next, we started playing notes together to make sure we knew how to go from one to the other smoothly. Lastly, we learned scales, also known as playing the letters of the staff up then down. Soon after having these lessons of learning how to finger the notes and how to correctly blow in my mouth piece, I realized it was much easier then it looked. After a year, I was moved into the high school band. There were a small number of flutes, so we had to play very loud. We started by learning small songs. By playing a new song every day, I started to memorize the keys which made playing much easier. As the months passed Mr. Peirce placed a music piece in front of us known as “Bella’s Lullaby”. I was then ecstatic! Bella’s Lullaby was the piece played in one of my favorite movies, Twilight. It took us weeks to learn and another to perfect. After learning the piece I finally knew what it felt like to hear music speak. The piece was full of emotion including a lot of crescendo and decrescendo. Meanwhile, after finishing the song, Mr. Peirce thought that it should be played amongst an audience. We were to invite all our family and friends to what we called a concert. After playing the piece, along with other small pieces that we learned, we were given a round of applause. That night, Mr. Peirce awarded me with the “Most Improved…

    I was always interested in playing instruments as a kid. I first started playing the electric guitar when I was ten. What I imagined it would be like was way beyond what it actually was. I was under the assumption that I would be learning songs that I liked and would be able to pick up the instrument rather quickly. I soon realized that I would be learning out of a beginners guide for guitar. In the book was songs like Mary had a Little Lamb and Ode to Joy. A ten year old me…

    After completing the survey for my economics course it gave me a career field that I should consider joining based off of my answers to the survey. The field I was given was investigative. I agree with choice because I love to solve puzzles and work with things that makes me have to think to figure it out. Also, the investigative field is a good fit for me because the jobs that are involved in this field involve math which is one of my favorite subjects whether it be engineering or computer programming. Plus, with it being investigative I am not limited by the math field because I could also work in the medical field by being a doctor trying to find a malignant tumor. The two career paths I have decided on that stem from this career category would have to be computer hardware engineer or being a biomedical engineer.…

    As a kid, I had sung in a small student choir in my elementary school. I had not received a great deal of exposure to instrumental playing by this time, the more disciplined instrumental instruction began in junior high. However, one day while shopping around in Walmart of all places, I convince my parents to purchase a CD of classical music recordings, after which I absolutely fell in love with classical music. This began my determination for playing an instrument. In my junior high school years, I enjoyed playing with the Carver Cougar Band at school events and outside in the community, while taking on the role of being one of its principal band leaders, which allowed me to explore my creativity and leadership simultaneously. I really did not begin to comprehend the world I had descended into until I transitioned to high school.…

    The last bell rings and kids run out of their classroom for the last time that year. Most of them are going to spend the summer outside, traveling and having a great time with their family and friends. But some kids from other schools are going to be staying in school spending the warm sunny summer days indoors learning, and that's because they attend a year around school. All schools should stay on a normal schedule because year around school affects the relaxation of the student, quality time a child can spend with their family and because year around schools have not shown improvement in the student's test results.…
