Wikipedia and I
Hello!

I am Ben Barlow and am new to the world of Wikipedia. Although I have held an account for over a year, I never have pursued the possibility of being a Wikipedia Editor. I'm still learning the basics on the markup language and the general guidelines. I have been doing a lot of reading trying to educate myself with all the information available for editing.

General Statement
I am currently attending University of Wisconsin–Platteville and majoring in Mathematics with an Actuarial Science emphasis and Business Administration minor. I have a lot of interests that range from Theater, Music, Performing Arts, Guitars, Sports, Songwriting, and General Socializing. I really am the classic case of artsy guy who is decent in the sciences.
