What is Ideal?

My ideal life would consist of me getting a full ride to Western Kentucky University and majoring in biochemistry and going into a pharmaceutical technician job. In this field I would start with a 100,000 dollar a year salary and be making medicinies for the general public. I would also like to have a minor in music and play stadium music in front of thousands of people. And my music gives the masses a new perspective on life and what is worth living for. I also see, ideally, that my girlfriend/wife will be an independent woman who will not be helpless without me. It would be nice if she could cook too.

As far as achieving these goals goes I believe that im am well on my way. I accel in the math and science aspect of school, and have a great desire to help and fix others. When I see someone with a problem I want to fix it, but at this point in my life I cannot because I lack the knowledge. However laughter is always helpful, and I am pretty funny. So hopefully with the knowledge I gain I will be able to use it to help others with problem that laughter cannot cure.

Musically speaking, I practice everyday and am always developing new material that I believe to be good. I have never taken a class to show me how to play guitar, I just figured it out. four to five hours a day of practice has granted me the ability to transfer the melodies in my head to the guitar, which is a truly incredible feeling when it happens. I still mess up when I play in front of people, but I warm up to the fact that they are there, eventually, and are no longer bothered by it. I have songs that I have written that people enjoy so much that I am asked to bring a guitar with me to people's houses to play for them, which is a large confidence booster for me. Lastly what is the most humbling is that multiple people have asked me, a person with no formal guitar knowledge, to teach them how to play the guitar. This gives me great pride in my disicpline and determination to learn how to play the guitar.
