I was at the above performance LIVE in Atlanta, Georgia and...oh, wait. That probably doesn't mean much to you. Well, it so happens that I know how to play that instrument and the particular name for the horn; a Euphonium! Unfortunately, I am not the one playing in the video for I'm no where near that skillful, but this instrument has led me to so many experiences and opportunities that formed me into the unique human being I am today. The Euphonium first entered my life in 6th grade and I've played it ever since that fateful day. Don't get me wrong; my life does not revolve around this instrument or music in general, but is one of the many 'moons' revolving around 'Planet Chris.'
Another moon revolving around 'Planet Chris' happens to be my current Occupation; where I serve customers in a Deli at Publix Pharmacy and Grocery Store. I absolutely love this store, specifically store 796, for it's clean environment, great work ethic and management. Now, let's take our figurative spaceship and blast off to the next moon on the Chris orbit: Education! I currently attend Valencia College and will be entering the Spring as a Junior at the University of Central Florida. I've participated in the Honors College, Phi Theta Kappa Honor Society, and the Medical Club my two years at the college. One of the most gratifying courses I ever took during my time at Valencia was amid my first two semesters in my LinC course (Humanities with Dr. Brooks and Comp with Professor Holliday). I met two of the best professors I know, as well as many of my current friends at the college. I learned a lot about my abilities as well as survival tips on how to succeed in college. They were truly fantastic classes that I'll never forget. It's nearing an end of a chapter in my life at Valencia, but I will forge onward and upward towards completing my degree at the University of Central Florida. Charge On. |
