For my collage I chose to express two aspects of my life that I value greatly, and how they come together to motivate me to achieve my goals. Music and exercise have been part of my life since the beginning of high school. I wanted to change my lifestyle to become more of an athlete and participate on a sports team for my high school. At the time, I was over weight and living a very sedentary lifestyle, and lacked support from my peers. So, I turned to music in an effort to motivate myself, especially during exercising. Whether it was running, or weightlifting, I was always able to throw on my favorite songs to help me focus. 
Today, I am doing the same thing, but my goal is different. In August I enlisted in the Air Force and since then, my goal has been to prepare myself for the training I will go through over this summer. Still, I turn to music to find my motivation and help me stay focused whether it be academically or physically. Both academics and physical fitness are important to my career in the Air Force, and with the help of music, I plan to excel in both areas.
