Goals ** My Community Goals: I would like to make my community a better place, not only for my friends but for my family and most importantly for my six year old nephew. **
 * After school I see myself as a classical musician, I like to play classical music and next school year will be my fourth year in the classical guitar program. I would like to get into the University of Miami; the university is already calling me and wants to do a phone interview to see if I fit the position the want to fill inside of their art institute’s audio production. **
 * I would probably have to work all of my life, musicians are not very rich unless they get lucky and start a very successful band. Musicians struggle all their lives and often have a hard time getting by. **
 * This academic year: to pass all of my classes with a C or higher **
 * Senior year: 2011 **
 * Post secondary: go to SCF for my AA degrees then go to UM (university of Miami) for my master’s degree in classical music and guitar. **
 * I used to volunteer often; I would clean up roads and go on field trips to clean beaches and public areas. I also volunteer in my community several times every year, for instance the Ringling bridge run that I volunteer at every year over the ****  summer.  **
 * I plan on working for Mr. Downs the guitar teacher this summer, he lives fairly close to my house and I still owe him for paying for half of my trip to the University of Miami’s guitar camp last summer. **
 * // Aim for Greater Self-Understanding  //**

Reality Check:

English: I only have one credit in English right now and I need to take online classes to make them up Math: I have always excelled at math and I will be taking an extra math class next year, I currently have all the credits I need for math to graduate. Science: science was a difficult subject at first but I eventually recovered and have three or four credits that I need in science to graduate right now. Social Studies: American history started out as a difficult class but eventually like science I caught up and recovered from a bad performance. I have all but one credit that I need in social studies right now. Social Studies 2: Personal career and school development skills, a class that was imported this year and it has been a strange class that is easily misunderstood. JROTC: ROTC has helped me to become a better citizen; I have been on several after school fieldtrips in ROTC that have helped to clean up the environment. Guitar: Guitar class is one of my best classes I have yet to fail and I have always had good grades and excellent performance grades. I have passed the FCAT but have yet to take the ACT or SAT. The University of Miami is where I want to go for collage and their willing to help me to get into the school. Due to my excellent background in classical music, the school is trying to help me to get into their art institute’s audio production classes. The university of Miami is a very costly school but I may be eligible for an ROTC scholarship that will pay 8000$ per semester. Any other costs I will have to pay for by getting a job in the area, I am also eligible for financial help but need to raise my grades slightly more to achieve my goal of getting into the UM. FAFSA has already approved me for financial help, the upcoming summer I plan on making a deposit that is required for the entire benefit and hopefully they can dramatically reduce the costs for collage.
