Unfinished Project

It's been my driving ambition to create an innovative idea for booming computer industry. Knowing that music is the number one market in selling computer-related products, my product would have to address that. This dream has been my future goal, the one that will be completed in 20 some years. The unfinished project at this time is building up the pro-life movement in Charlotte through this college. I have already made plans for a rally/show in April. And the people involved see the potential for it to become something bigger than it is now. We're already looking into hosting a showing of "Bella", a pro-life movie in the fall of this year. Any person has small projects in their life and of course me being a college student getting this degree is also a unfinished project. I'll highlight one project that I am very proud of. As Freshman Class President there is a lot of responsibility and a lot of living up to the mark but it's all worth it. I started thinking about running for the position on student government about two months before classes started last fall. I put it in my head that I would hold this position. It became my mindset. I made sure I was sure of myself. When orientation weekend began, I was cautious of the surroundings. Because I only knew about 3 or 4 people on campus. Speeding up to the first advertisement about the positions, Freshman President, Vice, and two senators. My game plan told me to go for a senator spot not to seem too sure of myself. Then I found someone else that would help me secure my spot on student government, Mariana Smith. A Freshman also but with a ton of drive, well more friends than I had. We decided to run on one ticket, her for the President and me for the Vice. The way the voting was structured was that the most votes got each spot respectably. So I had to rely on the marketing and advertising to come through. As soon as I found out I was jumping up and down all over in front of quad, so happy I was. Now with this position my opportunities are endless.
