When I Grow Up...And If I Could Change One Thing

[Orenshi]

When I was younger, I watched Wild Discovery on the Discovery Channel ALL the damn time. This spawned my dream of becoming a zoologist to study animals in their natural habitats. I wanted to go to the African savanna and observe a pride of lions... haha!

Reality Check. I played too many video games. It started with watching my brother and dad play Final Fantasy IV on SNES (FFII in Japan). At this point, my destiny to be a video gamer was sealed. Played lots and lots of games. This inspired my desire to be involved with computers in some way/shape/form when I grew up. College rolled around and I initially majored in computer engineering. Then I thought ... "Oh no there's a lot of math involved with engineering. Let me change majors to computer science instead!" Of course, I failed to realize that there is still a LOT of math in computer science. A year into college, I decided to dual major in both Computer Science and Finance. Did a few internships at a software company then an investment bank. Now at age 22, I have just graduated and am currently working as an application developer at a large bank.

If I could change one thing ... I would have dropped out in my sophomore year of college and gone to culinary school. LOL!!! Sounds a bit random right? Don't get me wrong, pretty happy where I'm at now. But I am curious to see what life would have been like if I had made that decision.

Well lets see, as far back as I can remember I wanted to be an archaeologist. Then I never really pursued it. Through my teens I wanted to be a famous rock star. Over the past few years I've started to think about what I truly want to do with my life, and I think I want to become a vet.
If I could change anything I wouldn't of dropped out of college for the gf and my band. The band lasted 6 months maybe a little more, but definitely don't regret having my son. And I would not trade him for anything in the world.

If I could go back in time and tell my younger self to do something it would be to put down the damn sandwich and go out side and play.
