Introductory Blog

          Hey, it's Gavin! I don't know if you know, but today is quite historical. This is because today is my first time ever writing a blog! To be honest, I don't really spend that much time on the internet so I'm really not surprised that I've never written a blog before. However, I am more than excited to start blogging. This is because I am always trying to find somewhere or someone to express myself to. I believe this place can help me do this effectively. To get back on topic, I am a student at Fort Lauderdale High School, writing today to introduce myself as an AICE Media student. I will now begin to talk about myself. This will include my strengths, weaknesses, likes, dislikes, and future goals.
          When it comes to academics, I am an extremely hard worker. I personally cannot accept to not perform to my fullest potential on assignments, homework, and tests. I may procrastinate, but I still end up getting the work done on time and done well. Even though this may increase stress for me, it has become such a habit that I am used to it. I hope to one day break this habit, however. It is definitely not the best quality to have, especially in the real world. Despite this weakness, I am also athletic. I played baseball and soccer my whole life and ended up stopping in 8th grade. Sometimes I wish I could play again (because of the fun), but it also takes so much time away from school. If you couldn't tell, school is very important to me. I don't want to ruin my chances at a successful future by interfering with my academics.
          After high school, I want to go to the University of Florida to pursue a degree in finance. This is mainly because my favorite subject is math. Although many may not like the subject, it makes so much sense to me. The logic and critical thinking involved in solving and graphing equations just seems to naturally click. When it comes to after high school, however, I want to spend the least amount of time possible in college. One day I want to end up managing my own accounting firm, even if it takes me a long time. This is probably one of my biggest dreams and I'm not going to let anything get in the way of me achieving it. I hope to one day have enough money to where I never have to check my bank account. I also want to be able to pay my mom back for everything she has done for me. I hope accounting/ a degree in finance helps me get there.
