…DD: Why did you choose this field in particular?
DO: I chose the technology field for many reasons. The number one reason being was to have the opportunity to create or work on projects that have not existed before. I may not be reinventing the wheel, but unlike the restaurant industry, which serves food everyday from the same basic food groups, the technology field gives me the opportunity to be a part of the industry that revolutionizes how we access information and entertainment, make new operating systems, an “App for That,” touch screens, evoke greater human computer interactivity, and soon Holodecks. I like the challenge of breaking boundaries and bringing to life what most people think is impossible.

If today was the end of my life. This year was the greatest. I achieved many goals, gained many rewards and lost a lot.
If today was the end I’d be happy and content knowing I won it all and lost it all, respectively.
I think it best that since today is not the last day I should like my last day to be before it all comes tumbling down.
I know that all is not meant to last but meant to change. And this still yet is the lesson I must learn, to be more than content with loss and change but to accept it as a victory claim.

“The Road Not Taken” Two roads diverged in a yellow wood Then took the other, as just as fair And both that morning equally lay I shall be telling this with a sigh
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth;
And having perhaps the better claim,
Because it was grassy and wanted wear;
Though as for that, the passing there
Had worn them really about the same,
In leaves no step had trodden black.
Oh, I kept the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads on to way,
I doubted if I should ever come back.
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood and I—
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.
by Robert Frost.
