About Me (currently)

Hello, my name is Jesse. My name is Hebrew for "God Exists" or "God's Gift" which I guess makes me one of those gifts you cannot return. I know what you’re thinking and no I’m not Hebrew, but I was in fact named after my grandfather. I am new to Wikipedia and was introduced to it by my wonderful English professor. My English class was given an assignment to create a page on Wikipedia that did not already exist. I am currently creating this page which will also count as my final in her class. The article is over Cotopaxi Colorado, and it will be uploaded soon. I welcome criticism of which I am sure there will be a plenty of, but please try not to leave any comments that make me feel dumb because I assure you I can do that on my own.

Where I Came From

I am from Cochran, Georgia and have recently moved away for the first time to attend college at Georgia Southern University. I was raised in a very stable family along with my three other siblings. My siblings include: my younger brother, younger sister, and older sister. I grew up on a small farm and had very well educated parents which passed their beliefs in acquiring good education down to me. Cochran is a very small town in which I have lived my entire life up to this point. My choice to attend Georgia Southern was mostly motivated by my strong desire to get away from the small town life style. Coming from such a small town to Statesboro is a big change for me, and I am still trying to adjust to it.

My education

I am currently attending Georgia Southern University as a freshman. My major at this point is electrical engineering, but this is subject to change in the future. I am able to pay for my education through receiving the Hope scholarship and large amounts of student loans. The Hope scholarship was awarded to me for maintaining a minimum of a 3.0 gpa (grade point average) throughout my high school career, but the loans were awarded to me because I promised to pay them back along with the unnaturally high interest rates. My native language is English of which I have a very strong understanding. Any edit I make tend to be in the area of grammar and punctuation. I am also very likely to add or correct information to any topic that I have an interest in. I will not add any information that I have not researched from a reputable source. I openly welcome criticism as long as it is done in a respectable manner. I am by no means an experienced Wikipedia user therefore certain mistakes may be less noticeable to me. Despite my current lack of experience I believe I have a lot to contribute to the Wikipedia community.

Relationship with Technology

My relationship with technology is a very abusive one. I seem to have unnatural amounts of trouble trying to use anything from an Apple computer to a set of earphones. My current Wikipedia page has been fighting back every chance it gets. I believe my relationship with technology is a strange one considering my desire to major in Electrical Engineering. Even though I can't figure out how to use computers half the time technology has always been fascinated to me and I hope one day to mend our relationship and start anew.

Random Facts about Me

• I am believed to be one of the world's biggest procrastinators.

Contributions

I have made several edits to various pages mostly to learn and better my editing abilities in Wikipedia. These edits are mostly in areas that I am interested in and already have prior knowledge of the subject. I have recently created and uploaded my first Wiki page which is over Cotopaxi, Colorado. My article has been uploaded and is ready for mass Criticism. I have very limited experience in the coding that is used on Wiki and will welcome any advice or corrections.
