If you could change one thing about yourself what would it be?
The thing about myself that I would change would be that I slightly procrastinate on projects. I would start a little bit earlier and develop enhanced time management development skills to counter act the procrastination.
What do you expect to gain from taking AP Art History this year?
This school year I anticipate to gain a profound analytical perception concerning art spanning human history in relation to emotions, culture, geographical determination, politics, religion, history, and many other topics that influence art and are continuing to shape the future of art.
What are your plans after high school?
My long term plans include making it to one of the top Ivy League Universities for Law like Harvard, or Yale after I go to the University of Texas at Austin for my undergraduate years. I aspire that I can at least make it to one of the Ivy's for one year just to obtain prodigious insight into law. After this I am shooting to be a constitutional minded military and governmental public sector/civil lawyer. For this part in my life I hope that I can be put into cases that will make big precedents for other future situations. This would include my aspirations to make it to the Supreme Court and argue a crucial case there with the intent to protect our constitution, service men and women, and traditional social standards. I also plan during this same time to become a politician on the national or state level like being a part of the National House of Representatives, Senate or the Texas State equivalent. The ultimate long-term goal would be to make it up to be the Texas State Governor.
Now the last paragraph included my career ambitions that I have, but I also have some others. I plan by the end of my education to be married and have children. Since the Boy Scouts means so much to me I plan to give back to scouting by becoming a Scout Master for my son’s troop and even becoming a Course Director over the NAYLE course that I went to as a participant and staff. I plan to help other scouts succeed and obtain the rank of Eagle and maybe even achieve the Hornaday Award. I plan to throughout my entire life to dedicate it to God and allow him to use it as he sees fit. I have many ambitions, but all this can completely change if God wants to take me in another direction. The paramount goal would be to make God pleased with my life choices and ensure that I do his will.
Do you like to create art?
Sadly, I don't like to create art as much as others though it is sometimes fun. The reason why is because I prefer the music under the umbrella of fine arts. When I was elementary I was really liking art and actually drawing for fun and going to art camps, but as time progressed I changed my interest. Now I concentrate on playing my trumpet in the Victoria East Band and sing in the Jesus Church Choir. In a way playing music is a form of art. How? Well I see as many players in a band playing many different notes and rhythms to paint a picture for the listener. Also listening to music can evoke much emotion and as a player I can make you feel many different ways including joyous, peaceful, or scared. And this correlates with painting as different works of art can evoke those same feelings.
