Bio

My life goals are to become a leader and an inspirer for hundreds of thousands or millions of people and unite everyone into a vision or dream that we can strive for and make into a reality, to make a technology company that can help hundreds of millions of people like Tesla, to become financially free and share the knowledge with everyone, and to create a better world than when I was around so that everyone can enter into the Kingdom of Heaven. I am passionate about looking for answers to help me grow into someone worthy of guiding others whether it is in the engineering industry, financial industry, or in a family. I want to be able to find and solve problems so that my society can grow and more people become happy. I am not sure if I am a great candidate for most of these scholarships. Sometimes I do question myself if I am up to these challenges and obstacles that are in front of me and sometimes, I can't find a solution to those problems unless someone comes and helps me. I want to help everyone and create a better world, but I am really afraid that when someone needs me the most, I would fail them so severely that it would leave a permanent scar. There are a lot of unfortunate people in the world, and I would like some of these scholarships to reach them because I think I would be okay without some of them. If I do get the scholarships, then I will use the scholarships to invest in myself to obtain more skills and hone my saws so that I can create a better future for everyone. I want to become a bridge to unite and guide the world into a better future. Thank you.

      I logged onto Soundtrap, and for inspiration, I listened to many guitar loops. After listening to many loops, I used the "Guitar - Accoustic Pop Soft 2" loop and broke down the notes onto a piano roll. Next, I liked the part where a high note was followed by a low note. Then I deleted all the notes except those two notes and added another lower note to complete that section. Finally, I added more eighth notes to complete the loop. I added a drumbeat and some drum fills, and I copied and pasted my guitar melody onto my clarinet and bass harmonics' piano roll. I added a reverse guitar at the beginning of the song and completed my Journey B Roll music.
