"Future.......?" (AM I READY?)

In 5 yrs. I can see myself starting to be financially stable while hopefully going to grad school, somewhere down in the south or... the west coast (no where specific yet!). Depending on my financially stability, and location stability I could maybe have a family (kids/ If things go right relationship wise, I could see myself married).
Even though I don't have a concrete answer on my career path at the moment, I have narrowed it down to first; computer science, and secondly; some where in the business management area. I believe my best way of reaching my long term goals is to start working hard now.
Staying strong in school (focus) finding a internship which can help open a wide variety of opportunities.
Some ways in which I've started is here at youth works. learning soft skills and business management info (insight through the b. side of youth). And also becoming more aware of my important financial decisions.

Scientist Dr, Ray Chrisman (Alterdyne corp/ bio char)

In the last week of my internship at youth works, (working on alternate energy). We had the c.e.o of a large company (Alter dyne) make a long trip to educated us on the direction bio char should be going for this next generation. He presented us with annual carbon fluxes (how much co2 is being contributed to the atmosphere from us, and how much is returning.) He also brought to our attention that it has many other great side affects like bigger growth in any food products, (becoming bigger, taster), and how it could help to slow global warming, and can help the earth recover, like medicine to a sick patient. (when used correctly it has good affects!) But the most amazing thing that he showed us was that bio char, even though it hasn't formally been discovered to this era. it actually has been around for thousands of years. Like in the Savannah how the grass could grow taller than some American bushes, etc. it's because when the dirt was digged up and examined, bio char was found to be the source giving the dirt a more darker texture.

Alternate Energy Internship

In the first week of youth works internship working with a newly created form of alternate energy called biochar. A new way to reuse waste to form energy from the fumes of certain materials, while the waste afterwards can be use to help create richer soil and more oxygen.
