20 Years from now

I went to High Tech High for high school, I chose to go to this school instead of High Tech High International, or High Tech High Media Arts because High Tech High was more based around technology and robotics, which I was (and still am) very interested in. During high school I finally built one of my inventions (I had an invention book where I wrote down all my inventions I though up). The first one I built (built at home) was this invention I thought up when I was playing one of my favorite video games (at the time) Mega Man. He had this really cool armor on and it had a blaster that shot different sized/powerful bolts so I thought, why not make a squirt gun version of his blaster (and eventually the whole armor). So I made a crude looking blaster attached to a big water tank strapped to my back, but that thing was the coolest, because it was able to shoot small bursts of water at incredible speeds. It was also able to propel large amounts of water at a fairly good clip. I then went on to complete high school and get my diploma, then straight off to college.

College was fairly uneventful I studied for my Bachelor’s degree in engineering (so I could better be able to make my inventions). While I was at college I tinkered with various inventions and thought up some new ones, but waited till I was out of college to build them (in case my college tried to use their intellectual property agreement against me and try to profit off of my ideas).

My early career years were quite interesting however, I was a struggling entrepreneur in the business world, trying to start my own company to sell my inventions and other fellow inventor’s as well (if they were willing). I also worked part time as an engineer (until I secured a location for my company). It was quite jumpy in those first few years, but I finally secured a location in California and was finally starting to sell things under my inventions under my company name Gravi, which means that the inventions have to do with gravity or use gravity in some way. When it just started I had the water gun armor displayed in the window, with its gleaming metal exterior and its high power water gun, I also spiffed up the shop and made everything sparkly clean. Once that was set done I started advertising and once the word got out people really started to come in. So once Gravi was -established I bought another lot in the same area and started a new division of Gravi, Anti-Gravi, which makes things that defy gravity or just don’t use it. Then when I had enough money, I bought a warehouse to start mass-producing my inventions. From there on Gravi just kept growing and I bought more stores and more warehouses to keep up with the demand, and got to were I am today, the owner of a multimillion dollar company. And I owe it all to my mom and dad for challenging me and supporting me to make me the creative person I am today.

My favorite memory from the past 20 years was the memory of when I finally got my first invention to work. My other favorite memory is that of when I first met my wife, Katie, we met while I was working part time as an engineer and was struggling to secure a location for my company. We worked in the same building so we saw each other quite a lot, but my attraction to her didn’t really happen until I got moved into the cubicle next to her. We got married 1 year after that and now have two rambunctious little boys. I have made the world a better place because I made products (from Gravi) that encouraged kids to once again play for real, not just in video games.
