Hello, My name is Michael Roda, I’m 16 years old, and I’m currently in my junior year here at Lake Shore High School. My top 2 favorite hobbies are the following, #1, making music on my 2 acoustic guitars, my Stagg SA20ACE NAT, which is an electro-acoustic, meaning that, it’s equipped with a pickup system, it’s equipped with a Piezo GO3 under-saddle pickup, meaning that, if necessary, I can plug my Stagg SA20ACE NAT into a PA system or an acoustic amplifier, and play live, and my Ibanez V50MJP-NT-2Y-O2, which is just a standard acoustic guitar. The 2nd hobby I got back into after a while is, writing stories, in fact, in the 83 days that elapsed from Friday, June 17th, 2022, to the 1st day of school, Tuesday, September 6th, 2022, I wrote 10 different novels, Ice Age #2, The Deep Freeze, Late, Natural Disasters, The Dream Decimator, Police Pandemonium The 30th Anniversary, The Dramatic Drift, The Great Fire, The Mythical Music Festival, The Supercar Showdown, YouTuber Edition, and The Zombie Apocalypse, Mankind's Final Frontier. All of this, however, was during my free time. In the intervening time between writing the 10 novels listed above, I had 2 other activities occurring. The 1st came 1 week after school got out, on Friday, June 24th, and spanned to Sunday, June 26th, 2022. It was a leadership conference at Michigan State University, known as MYLead, which is an acronym for, Michigan Youth Leadership. Then, immediately following that, from Monday, June 27th, 2022, to Thursday, June 30th, 2022, I had virtual job training from 1:00 to 3:00 P.M, which eventually led to me working as a store worker at Big Lots, which spanned over 29 days, from July 11th to August 18th, 2022, where I was working from 9:30 A.M to 2:30 P.M, from Monday to Thursday, of which I earned $977.24. My goals after high school, are to buy a 1,23-acre piece of land, and build my 3-story, 53,279ft2 dream house, which will feature a 2,475ft2 main house, a 1,275ft2 elevator in the back right corner of the house that leads up to the top floor, a 48ft2 hallway on the left side of the house that leads from the main house to the garage, a 7,035ft2 garage, a racetrack behind the garage with the same dimensions as the garage, at 7,035ft2, a 48ft2 transition hallway on the right side of the house that leads to the pool, a 7,020ft2 pool, a 132ft2 transition hallway that leads to the hot tub from the pool, a 63ft2 transition hall that leads to the pool from the bowling alley, a 7,035ft2 bowling alley, a 1,728ft2 hot tub, a 126ft2 transition hall in the back left corner of the house, that leads to the bathrooms, a 5,290ft2 bathroom, a 490ft2 “Underground” Track (From the glass gate leading to the pathway leading to the front door(s) of the main house, to the gate leading to the stairwell leading up to the door, which leads into the garbage disposal/generator), an 860ft2 generator, a 75ft2 transition hallway, that leads form the garbage disposal/generator, to it’s activation booth, a 2,809ft2 Activation booth for the Garbage Disposal/Generator, and finally, on the roof of the house, that is where the 7,035ft2 music studio will be installed. After I pay off that house, I would then purchase my dream car, a 2022 Lexus LS.
