I am a veteran of the US Army and Operation Iraqi Freedom. I am currently in college at Illinois State Universtiy studying Secondary Education History. I graduate December 2006!! Afterwards I will teach while working towards my Bachelor of Arts in Piano from the Royal Music School in London. They have "schools" here and it will be an at my own pace thing. And it's so much cheaper than US schools. When I finish the Music School, I will apply to and hopefully be accepted by Columbia University in New York City. There I will finish my PhD in American Studies with a focus on African-American History from the Jim Crow era until the Civil Rights Movement.
