All about me
My name is Denis Douglas, I am a freshman at Georgia Southern University. Many people around Georgia say that Georgia Southern is "just a party school". I would have to agree and disagree with this statement. (we like to party!!!!) Yes, Georgia Southern is definitely a fun school to attend but the academics are also serious here. There are about 22,000 students that attend this University. The campus is beautiful and, for the most part, the weather is awesome. The reason I picked Georgia Southern is because my dad coached on the national championship team in 1985. My sister also graduated from Georgia Southern and my brother is currently playing football here. In my life time I have recieved multiple awards. I played football, basketball, and baseball in high school. I earned the defensive player of the year in my senior season as a football player. I was also voted 2nd team all area that same year. In baseball I was voted 2nd team all area my junior year and was ranked 69 in the state of GA. As you can tell one of my intrest is sports, but I am also very dedicated to the Catholic church. I am one of nine kids and I love all my brothers and sisters. My major at Georgia Southern is Education. After college I want to teach and coach football at a high school. However, my current job is working at R.J Pope in Statesboro. (Clothing Store)

My hard work on Wikipedia
I have been working on an article about Jeff Monken. Jeff is the head football coach at Georgia Southern. My article needs much improvement and in the next couple weeks I will work hard to improve my contributions to Wikipedia.

Me and technology
Honestly, compared to all the technology nerds in todays world, I do not consider myself very technologically advanced. Although I would much rather recieve a text message rather than a hand-written letter in the mail. Before college I never really sent Emails but now it is a great way to keep in touch with my parents and friends. Now I send at least 4 Emails a day. I do use the internet everyday but I am still not great with computers. When I am at home and the computer or television is giving me troubles I go to my brother, the handy man in the family, to fix it. The only program I really use is Microsoft Word and that is when I am writing a paper for school. Facebook is about the only thing i do!

All the talk about Wikipedia
I have not had much experience with Wikipedia mainly because most people that I have associated with talk bad about Wikipedia and say that it is not accurate. From my experience so far I disagree, I believe this is a great site and you can learn a lot from Wikipedia. In high school, when I did use Wikipedia, I would look up intresting facts on famous people and their past events. Yes, I know there is some false information that people have written, but there are also intresting facts that you can not find on other websites. It is hard to say if Wikipedia is reliable enough to write a college term paper on because you are not 100 percent sure if it is all true. One of the main things I love about Wikipedia is that it is so open. It is so open that if you search something, then Wikipedia most likely has information on that topic.

English and only English
English is the only language that I use, period. Although in high school I took a couple years of French but did not learn much and it has not stuck with me. I believe it is important and helpful in todays world for people to know multiple languages. However, It is very difficult to learn a completely different language. At times I wish I knew other languages, when I am at a Mexican restaurant I always want to talk to the workers using their language.
