Introduction
Attention-arousing and orienting material: I’m not gonna lie, it’s a little bit weird that I am pursuing a degree that technically falls under the communications department. I am without a doubt one of those socially awkward kinda guys. And as much as I hate to acknowledge, it I can’t deny it. Hi, my name is Ethan Howard. From the age of 2, I was set apart from other kids, much because after being tested it was thought that I had Asperger’s syndrome.

Concluding remarks: This place here is a fresh start for me. A new environment, and new people. I hope that I can learn from my weird habits and not turn off the people that could be great long-term
