Undergraduate / NCSSM Application - [Need Help Reviewing Each Section] [2]

Technology and Computer Experience (500 character limit):
Although I have not had any recent computer or technology oriented classes, I did take computer/typing classes from 2nd grade until 7th grade. Those classes have become the foundation for my knowledge of most things computer. At the beginning of my sophomore year, I enrolled in a college Introduction to Computers class that will provide more skills, topics, and applications to understand. Through many of my other classes and on a daily schedule, I use Microsoft Office, including Word, Powerpoint, and Excel. I also have studied the topics of HTML and internet basics. I have a decent familiarity with multimedia and file formatting.

Other Interests, Talents and Hobbies (500 character limit):
I have played the piano for about nine years; I am currently trying to learn the electric guitar on my own. Although not as practical, I have learned to play Guitar Hero successfully on Xbox 360 and am hoping to hit it big one day. I enjoy going rock climbing in gyms whenever time permits, and next summer will be going to climb somewhere in the mountains of NC with my uncle. Ever since I was a little tyke, I have loved to read.

Outside of the pool, I referee soccer games for recreational soccer, & keep score for recreational basketbasketball.
