My senior year of high school was an absolute blast and I'd give anything to do it again.  I had made up my mind that I wanted to attend either Bowling Green or Ohio State, but I really didn't have reasoning beyond the fact that my dad had attended BG.  I put in applications to BG and OSU, both of which denied me.  That felt kind of shitty because I knew my GPA was pretty low, but I scored an 1100 on my SAT and a 23 on my ACT which I thought was proof that I was smart, just not very motivated.  While all my friends were going off to college I was stuck at Cleveland State University.  I signed up for Macro Economics, Western Civ, and Computer Information Systems.  I had a really cool teacher for Econ, a fairly cool teacher for Western Civ, and a bunch of DP's for the computer class.  (DP=deported person)  I was really upset how bad CSU was lacking updated computer equipment.  I went home and completed all of the homework for that semester in about an hour.  (Can you say 'JOKE'!)

Then I had the opportunity of a lifetime, thanks to my good friend Tim.  His uncles run a computer related company called Tactical Computer Company and they were looking for some help.  I went for an interview if you could call it that and everything seemed really cool.  I called my dad on the way home to tell him about this wonderful chance for me to get started in the computer industry.  If I was to take this job though, I'd be working full-time and college would no longer be needed.   My dad didn't think this too wise of a decision but he left it up to me which I thank him for.  I took the job and it's turned out to be the greatest thing that has ever happened to me.   I build computers, web sites, and I will be learning to program shortly.  I have access to just about any computer product my heart desires and my bosses are the coolest guys on the face of the Earth.
