Mission Statement

In life, I hope to achieve happiness, through whatever course that brings me. I have a great love of computers and video games, and have grown up with them. I want to bring my passion for these areas into my professional life. I don't want to compromise anymore, and just accept the job that is given to me. I want to better myself through education, so that I can have a fulfilling job and a happier life.

My current time line is to leave my current corporate America job immediately upon graduation. I've been there 3 years now (this August) and I'm definitely reaching my limit of doing a job I don't enjoy for meager pay. Fortunately they allow me to keep a modified work schedule in order to go to school, so I can't leave any sooner. Within a year of graduation I'd like to be in either an entry level digital media job, or a step above that. Though I don't have a lot of professional experience in that industry, I do have a lot of experience in an office work environment, so I feel this should help me advance quickly. I don't know exactly what I want to do when I graduate, but I think this next year of classes, especially my gaming classes, will help me decide.

I have always managed to overcome roadblocks in the past, and I don't plan on stopping anytime soon. I've managed to hold down a full time job and commute to school full time, and pay all of my own bills without my parents' or anyone's help. If I can rise to this occasion I know I can make it through just about anything.

It's not entirely about money for me. If I'm happy and able to live a somewhat comfortable life, that's all I really need. I want to feel fulfilled with my job and happy with my work. I'm not sure where that will be just yet, but I'm getting warmer.
