All though I have been through many different school systems in my life I must say that none of them taught me lessons about life more than Memphis City Schools. I started out in MCS and moved to a charter school. From the charter school I went on to a private Catholic school. From the Catholic school I went to an alternative school and I have finally come full circle back to MCS. Out of all of the places I have been I am most thankful of my time at MCS.
Going to a rough alternative school from a sheltered private school wasn't easy but was the best preparation for the real world. During my stay I tended to keep to myself and expressed my life's highs and lows through my fingertips. Music became everything. If I wasn't doing school work I was doing music. Slowly but surely my homemade studio became operational. This was how I became so rooted in doing music. It was the only thing I had. I finished out the year with good grades and went on to start my next year at East High School.
I started East doing my music and focused on my future. It was at East High where I had received the first academic achievement award since the fifth grade. I had been inducted into East High's first ACT 30+ Club. I realized that in order to take my music from being a hobby to being a profession that I would need to add knowledge to my talent. Now I am applying to Tech schools all over the country so that I may land a job doing what I love.
