All about me
I am Emily McGuire I am a freshman at a Georgia state university. I am currently an undeclared student, and am still unsure of any major I am interested in. I graduated from Southeast Bulloch High School in May of 2010. I was an honor graduate, a member of the National Technical Honor Society, achieved academic excellence, received an award in the career pathway of forestry, a member of the yearbook staff, and an active member of the National FFA Organization; in which I received multiple awards for public speaking. I also earned the HOPE scholarship due to keeping my GPA (grade point average) at a 3.53 and I plan to keep it throughout college. This scholarship will pay for my tuition at any in state university.

My work on Wikipedia
Thus far my contributions to Wikipedia include editing the articles about MTV, The Disney Channel, Photographers, Southeast Bulloch High School, and Statesboro High School. Most of my contributions are minor changes; every few of them are adding major information to articles. I do plan on writing an article on Blue Mountain Sage.

Do I trust Wikipedia?
As we all know there is controversy over Wikipedia and if its articles are accurate. I used Wikipedia all throughout high school for most of my projects and I was never mislead by any information I found. I would always double check my information on various websites and they would always match Wikipedia. Due to these facts I do trust Wikipedia as a reputable source.

Technology in my life
I have been able to use a computer since I was a child, and have become much more proficient at using them in my teenage years. I do have a good working knowledge of the internet and technology in general, however I do learn new features of them all the time.

Language
I am a native skeaker of American English. I took two courses of Spanish in high school and can read a very minimum amount of it, but I am unable to verbally speak it. On a basic level I am also able to hear Spanish and understand a limited amount of it.
