Well.

Goals...

A few categorized ideas of my future are quite hard to put out on this text pad. But.. I've been talking with my parents, friends, and friends of the family that are also my friends on this topic for a long while. Well, to be short, I live in Georgia of the United States. I am an "Information Tech Apprentice" so say, to my Uncle. I have picked up on Computers and all that jazz around age 8, after my dad decided to give me an old laptop that was pretty much handed down from him. A big brick Toshiba that ran off of Windows 98 and had 64 MB's of RAM. I cherished it for a long while and I quickly grew accustom to going through the program files and reading all this crap I didn't understand. It took over my daily routine as I treaded down the path of code. Now, to quell any question, I am fourteen. And to this day, I don't know how to properly code. But anyway, on my.. tenth birthday I want to say.. the family got a new home computer. I believe the year was 2004. We picked up a new Dell Dimension 6200.. 258 MB's of RAM, 1.4 Ghz processor, and.. Windows XP. I had a friggin' field trip with that thing the first week we owned it. I learned the basics of diagnosing problems and how to take care of them around that time. A few months later, and I new XP like the back of my hand. I stuck by with that computer until I turned 12, two years later. We had an internet modem. Cable, ran about 748 mb/s. To this day, I use that very same internet. I had my first exposure to the web. I surfed on and on until, I was handed down an old Gateway Desktop PC and an 17 CRT monitor. My parents ran internet into my room from where, I was locked in day-to-night. Surfing and surfing as I read and learned more about the world outside. If I'm correct, this is when I first picked up Miltownkid and began watching his videos. I learned about his fascination and kept a steady eye on his rants. After a few months, I received an old dell model dimension desktop that had a few.. flaws. Keep in mind, this was a major upgrade to the Gateway I had been running. I soon had it running. It had 1 GB of RAM, and an 2.4 Ghz Pentium 4 Processor. This was my main machine up and running till I received the parts for this current machine I've had for nearly two years. 2GB's of RAM, 3.2 Ghz Duel Core Extreme Processor, 1 Tera byte hard disk-drive, two DVD burners and a 500 Watt Supply to boot. I have been upgrading it over the years, nearly putting over $500 into it as of today. But yes, and I've hit a stage in life where, I need to begin setting goals, and heading towards them as Casey has clearly stated through his videos. I now have a job fixing computers for locals in my town.

I apologize, I have strayed from the main topic. History. It wasn't very short but kind of an insight on my life so far. Regardless, I have the mindset to become an Security Specialist. Preferably, development of security software. I have the means, and for the first year's starting salary is $80,000 dollars with a Bachlors Degree.

Thats my dream job.

Goals are as follow, in no particular order.

• Get a new Desktop / Laptop Build.
• Learn how to play an Instrument
• Achieving AT LEAST an 3.4 GPA as a freshman.
• Learn the German language.
• Get my mother to playing WoW xP
• Join the Chess Club

For how basic that list is, those are by far my highest priority Goals for my current day and age. Colleges are being considered but nothing is set in stone of course. Other goals are being thought of, and I will update the list as I brainstorm. Thanks for reading my wall of text, and leave some comments!
