Yes, I know the prompt of this assignment was how you want to change the but for me the word want doesn't instill a sense of urgency in your actions, but will does. However we'll get into that later.
Who am I you ask? If I had to break it down into the essentials I am Alex Huegle. I'm a fourth year student from Fairfield, OH studying strategic communications with a minor in "Music, Media, and Enterprise," and rhetorical studies. I have been playing drums since the 5th grade and still have not given up on the rockstar fantasy and probably never will. To me, music is life and my greatest goal in life is to be playing to an audience and have them singing my song. I am a member of the Pi Kappa Alpha fraternity and loving every minute of it. I'm currently the new social chair so if any of you lovely ladies want to plan something, just come to me ;)
All kidding aside though I always hate these things because to me, it's hard to sum up all aspects of my personality and everything that makes "who I am" into forms of text. I'm the type of person who you almost have to meet to understand. I know that probably makes me sound like some kind of weirdo, but once you meet me you'll understand that basically I'm a fun guy who loves to work hard, have a good time, and just be me.
Continuing with the basics, I'm a registered republican, family and friends are very important to me, I cannot go shopping for myself without a girl there to help me, I enjoy off-roading in my jeep/quads/dirtbike, I think Justin Bieber is terrible, I think any musician that needs any sort of auto-tuning shouldn't call themselves musicians, I have a dog named porkchop (yes like the cartoon doug. Awesome right?) my hero is my dad and I strive to be half the man he is everyday, and lastly I live and breathe Ohio State. I feel like this is enough to give you the basic gist of who I am.
Though, I feel like the guys in these videos also sum up my personality pretty well.

Ok, on to how I will change the world.
As somewhat mentioned above as my overall goal in life is to have people sing my songs, I want to change the world through my music. Now, while it may not affect everyone, I know music can have a huge impact on people. I dare someone to tell me they haven't been to a concert or listening to their favorite music and not felt an overwhelming emotion come over your entire body. People are able to lose themselves in songs and that's what I want to create. We have all done it, you're having a bad day and you listen to your sad songs, or you put on your favorite songs to perk you up. People can derive so much emotion through just one lyric of a song and I truthfully believe that it only takes one lyric of inspiration to change someone's life. So yes, to some I may be living in this fantasy of become a famous musician or whatever but you know what, nobody gets anywhere in life by playing it safe. All the people that put it all on the line always get called crazy, but then are praised once their idea works. My father has taught me many things, but one lesson I hang on to is the idea of the greater the risk the greater reward. It's what fuels me everyday and will continue to fuel all of my ideas that will eventually help shape a generation to come.
Well I hope this gives you a little more insight into the workings of me!
