About:
I live in a relatively small town about 10-15 minutes from Harrisburg (capital of PA). Made some bad choices in life, mainly with school, tried cyber school but I failed 2 years in a row because I just wasn’t motivated to do the work :blush: . In a normal school however I am mainly a A-B student. Not sure if I plan to go to college or not, might just go to a tech school. Will definitely try to get these certifications CompTIA A+ and MSCA Windows 7 and 8 and maybe others, though those might be it because certs are quite expensive. Gaming is pretty much my life, favorite game being Fable II or Forza4 and favorite series being The Sims. Recently got into landscape photography.
