Ten Years From Now

Ten years from now I would like to be coaching somewhere. I would like to either be at a big youth club, or at a college somewhere. Ideally I would like to be living in a big city. I haven't gotten the chance to have the city experience yet, so I would like to have that opportunity. In my personal life, I do not know if I would like to be married yet. I don't think marriage is something that you can just plan. I would like to have a close knit group of friends. I have always had a small close group of friends and I would like for this to continue. I know when you first begin coaching that you are not paid very well. I would probably not be living the ideal lifestyle I want, but this will lead to better things in the future for me.

The Machine is Us/ing Us?

I think the title of the video is just referring to how the machine (the internet) is really whatever we want it to be. It is now possible for us to do anything we want on the internet; so in a sense we are the internet. Web 2.0 has a big effect on both people entering the workforce and those already in the workforce. For those who are entering the workforce, knowing how to use web 2.0 is a valuable tool. Technology is a huge part of today's society and being technologically savvy is very important. People in the workforce must constantly stay up to date on knew technology coming out. It is very important for people not to fall behind with technology. I think the video means that we have to rethink everything, because technology is constantly changing how we do things. The things we do today are extremely different from things we did 20 years ago and they will continue to change dramatically in the next 20 years.

About Me

My name is Keegan Priest and I am a sophomore here at Clemson. I am an economics major. I am from a small town called Saint Simons Island in Georgia. I've played soccer since I was 4 years old and have always loved it. During high school I played for a club team in Atlanta, which meant that I had to travel about 5 hours every weekend. Soccer has given me great opportunities throughout my life, including the chance to travel to many different countries. Now I am lucky enough to play soccer for Clemson. Other than soccer, I like to just hang out with friends and have a good time.
