Goals

My goals are to diversify my education and experience while developing a background in the field of information technology and expand my knowledge of Networking, Programming, and Web Design to pursue a successful career in computers. My accomplishments in High School and completed goals are the first step, my new goals are to give 110% effort into completing the College I am enrolled in and pursue a successful career in Information Technology.

About Myself

I enjoy working with computers and helping others. This has been a challenging but self gratifying area to pursue and I could not have come this far without the help of my family and my teachers.

Practice makes perfect, and you need to have strength in body and in mind to accomplish your goals in life. I have trained and studied to succeed in accomplishing many goals and will continue to work hard at improving myself even after accomplishing my goals to constantly keep up to date with modern technological and social advances.

I am a hard worker and described by others as a strong, and respectable leader. I am always punctual and believe in using my knowledge , skills and abilities in every aspect of my life. While working with others, I aspire to give it my all and strive to be a valuable asset to my employer and community.
