Some of you may know that in October I am leaving for a year to attend Univeral Technical Insitute. There are two parts of this school. One is called MMI or Motercycle Mechanics Insitute, and the other. Which is also called MMI, is Marine Mechanics Insitute. That's the part I'm going to. Here's the ketch, it is all the way in Orlando, Florida. I've been down there before and I loved it. But this time I'm going down by myself and living down there. I'm going to be honest with you I'm scared to death. I've lived in small towns all myself. I've never once lived in a big city. I've always loved to sit outside and listen to the birds and the wind. I know when I live in the middle or Orlando, I wint be able to do this. This is what got me thinking, I didn't want to go. However, there is no better school to go to for marine mechanics. I'll give you this Maine Maritime Academy is s great school. But it just wasn't for me. Here's why; it was too much money. To get the skills I wanted to learn, I had to take a five year course which cost $60,000. The course I'm taking at MMI is 51 weeks and cost $29,000. That's the reason why I'm moving my whole life down there for a year. Even if I won't see my family as much as I would if I went to MMA. I might get a better education or a better job if I went to MMA, but the percentage for jobs out of MMI is very close to MMA.
So, even if MMA has a way better reputation then MMI. I know MMI is the school for me. It's in a beautiful place where there is no snow. I'll learn to live on my own, and find myself. Here, I really can't figure out what I'm supposed to be or do in life. I think if I get away from my old life and start one of my own. I just might find myself.
You know where you're supposed to be and what you want in life, I envy that about you. A lot of people, myself included, feel clueless as to what they're meant to do with their life or even where they're supposed to be. Things are going to be super good for you. I'm proud to have been your friend.
