Hey, I can totally relate to your confession. Itis probably a very similar story for may of us young folks. The revision I made are minor. When I was reading, your peice I felt the need for more transtions to continue the follow of your thoughts. I rearraged some your sentences to follow a more retorical development of sentences and ideas. Hey, I think you became and great comic book writer. By the way, what is your screen play/comic about.
You can read over your revision and tell me whay you think.
I change very little. Tell me what you think.
I have a confession. I started college immedialtly after High school. I really didn’t know what I was doing. When I come to think it, I don’t know if their was any wisdom in starting college without a clear and crisp vision. I didn’t start college with a five year plan or even a one year plan. I was’nt planning on being a self made millionare by the age of 25. I was still finding myself. The one thing I knew for sure is that did not know what I wanted to do. I kind of had an approach to my initial college moments but not really.
I was one of the people who thought High School was geared toward the kids who didn't want to be there, and it was infuriating. I had always appreciated education. Regardless, I took the next two or so years off to just work and give myself a break from High School and from my first semester of college. The real reason I took the break was to find out what I wanted it to do. I started back at SPC [I am not sure what SPC stands for your audience might not know either. I guess the rule of them is to spell out The word first and in parathernes give the abbreviation you are going to use] around 2003, with a focus toward Computer Science. My thoughts to my self were “I good with computers, and there's definitely money to be made here, so what the heck.” But really, a semester or so in, I realized two things. First, that I didn't want to be stuck behind a desk for the rest of my life. Second, I was really loved working with animals, so I switched to biology.
Despite initially wanted to work with large cats (not like Nicole's cats mind you, but Lions or Tigers...or bears, oh my), I had always been fascinated with sharks and dolphins, and thought maybe Marine Bio would be a better fit. I took some Biology and marine Biology classes and as it turned out I loved science. However, I just wasn't very good at it. It's really ironic. I love Michio Kaku, Super String, and anything by Sagan, but academically science just isn't for me. I dropped a few classes here or there on my way to my AA, and I even failed a basic Speech class simply because instead of taking the final, I decided it was more important to see Price at the St. Pete Times forum (it was rumored he wasn;t going to play any of his old stuff anymore, so who could miss it up?) It was silly in retrospect, but I can't say I regret it. It was around this time I decided that I wanted to write comics. Comics have always received a bad reputation as a kid's medium and it's quite tragic. There's probably more talent and enthralling emotional storytelling in modern comics than in most novels people read; it's one of the most under appreciated mediums I've found. This desire evolved from a screen play I was writing. About 35 or so pages into it, I realized it would have made a great graphic novel and better yet an ongoing series. I tweaked and edited that screenplay I was writing and I've begun to turn it into...well, the beginning of a comic. If I could find an illustrator, I'd be in much better shape, regardless, some exerpts can be found here.
