     Obviously, making the decision to attend college is an extremely difficult and strenuous one. The pressure from your peers and parents also add that extra bit of stress. My mom attended Wofford and was a biology major and my father attend Pfieffer college on a full-ride for wrestling. They clearly expected for me to follow in their footsteps, and hoping to be successful not only for myself but also for them, led me to college. Not only do I want to be the best that I can be and be as successful as I know I can be, I want to get the kind of education that will allow for that. Which leads to the next question of why I chose Converse. Being an athlete and also a musician made choosing a college where I could do both a little tough. I wanted to go somewhere that would allow me to pursue a music degree from a great college and also let me play soccer for a school that was able to give me a scholarship. Turning down athletic, music, and academic money is not an easy decision to make. Thus, I am at Converse. I studied under the wise direction of Mr. Law as soon as I started 8th grade. He has opened my eyes to so many wonderful things about music and has also been the inspiration that led me to choosing Music as my major. He makes playing cello look simple and pleasurable, and also shows the kind of passion that I strive to have. I know that choosing music for my major was a daunting decision to make and will require tons of work and practice, but I look forward to living in Blackman and the final results that it will provide. Lastly, the obvious decision in the question of sandwiches or cereal is quite clearly cereal. How could I possibly give up Cinnamon Toast Crunch, or Trix. No way. And eating cereal for three meals a day sounds perfectly fine to me.
