One on my most fun projects was installing custom firmware on my portable game console in order to give it the ability to emulate retro game consoles. It was a lot of fun for me to research the topic and get it to work through trial and error. When I finally got it to work it was extremely satisfying to show my

    As a child, I remember my grandma reading me The Little Engine that Could every time I visited her house. Which may seem slightly odd that, that’s what I enjoyed as a kid. It quickly led to me writing in school. During kindergarten, we were all about writing our own books. For example, I ended that year with 22 books.…

    I drove my first BMW when I was 20 years old; my boss at the time let me drive his E39 530i home. It was the most amazing thing I had ever drove and decided right then I must have a BMW once I made enough money to afford one. It was fast (to me), handled like it was on rails, quiet, comfortable, and everything a person who loves to drive could really ask for at the time; truly a “the ultimate driving…

    Junior year I started a part time job on top of theatre to buy a new camera. In elementary school I saw the tech booth at a Sunday service and it looked quite interesting. In middle school I began working tech for my church changing lights, switching slides. I eventually became the A/V team leader for grace kids and even trained the rising students. I devoted what would seem like crazy amounts of time to the activities not because I was crazy but because I’m passionate.…

    While most kids were outside playing in the mud and dirt, I was sitting inside on a couch, comfortable, clean, and happy to do so. As a child, I detested the idea of getting my clothes dirty. I loved to be able to maintain the pristine cleanliness of my outfit, so I often refused to play outside. Instead, I resorted to a crimson red Gameboy SP with a blazing LED screen, almost too big for my hands, for my childhood action. I’d live out intense fantasies in that three inch square.…

I have had three laptops over the duration of five years that needed replacement, and the one I currently use that needs to be replace.

    Before moving to Colorado I never showed much interest in them, because back then it was very expensive and I was a little kid around eight years old. But it was around middle school when I was thirteen years old that I started to undoubtedly fall in love with computers. It was my first year in middle school that I started building websites, granted the websites I built were never very good but looking back on it now they actually were quite good for being quite young. I would spend hours after school and stay up way past my bed time building my website. Sometimes I would even pretend to be sick so I could stay home from school to talk with other kids who lived on the other side of the world to discuss functionality, coding, and new ideas for designing…

    This simulation exercise with an un familiar actor, was something that I have never experienced in my educational career this far. All the discussion in class and the time leading up to the actual simulation was very nerve wracking. It was the anticipation surrounding it that was scarier than the actual simulation. Going into the room, I initially felt a little nervous, but after we started talking, the nerves disappeared. At one point during the middle of the interaction there was a time in which I felt that I did not know what to say next and I became nervous again.…

    “Alright now Skin, I need you to be my leadoff here and get a rally going!” I do not respond, because I obviously know how important this one at bat is for the team and for myself. One thing coach loves doing, making sure I know how much I am accountable for. There is no comment to explain to me of how dependent I am on these upcoming moments for the team, so don’t make it any worse. To start off and to have the power to set the tone of the whole inning.…

    The smell of hairspray, hair wax, and burning hair at 4:30 AM isn’t pleasant to most people but to me, it’s one of my favorite things to wake-up to.

    I sat in the office all day and try to keep up with all that was going on with the new patient information that needed to be put into the computer, updates, insurance, and everything else that is still a blur. When Donna and I came back from lunch I mentioned that I needed to get on the computer, because I learn best hands on. She stayed right there with me and walked me through it, but after a while, I got panicky and had to let her take over. Donna later showed me how to print and send out reminders of patient appointments. By the end of the day, I was becoming a little bit more comfortable answering phones and routing them to the right person and checking patients in.…
