Who I am
My name is James Kearney, I was born in west palm beach, Florida. I moved to Buford, Georgia when I was eight years old. I graduated from North Gwinnett High School in may 2010. I am now attending summer school at Georgia Southern where I am studying civil engineering. In two years I hope to transfer to Georgia Institute of Technology on GA southern's GTREP plan.

About me
I was raised by a single mother and three siblings (all girls). I moved to Georgia around ten when i started playing football. I continued to play through out GFL into high school. In high school I played on the JV team for both football and wrestling for two years. my junior season for football i broke my leg and was unable to play for most of the season, however i recovered in time for the wrestling season and was able to achieve a varsity spot at the 171 weight class. during my junior year i also joined key-club. Key-club was a volunteer program that raised money through fund raisers such as toys for tots, turkey drive, etc. all proceeds went to foster homes and less fortunate families.my senior year i played on varsity level for football however, did not wrestle due to fact i wanted to concentrate on just one sport. Besides sports i also enjoy a variety of music, from country to hip-hop. I could listen to my ipod all day long with out skipping one song.My favorite artists consists of John Mayor, Bob Marley, Jack Johnson, and.

Accomplishments
In high school I have received a couple of awards for my athletic performances. In 2008 I received MVP for the wrestling team. In my senior season of football I received red zone player of the week two times, old spice player of the month one time from a local newspaper The Gwinnett Daily Post, and claimed the title for most interceptions in the 2010 season. Although I do not obtain many academic awards I was nominated for top dog all four time my junior year and twice my senior year. I also was honored with the "Taylor Burdette scholarship". The Taylor Burdette Scholarship was started in loving memory of a fellow class mate who passed away from a fatal car accident. The scholarship subsidizes any aspiring engineer with a $2,000 check for any college of their choice.

My Future
In the future I plan to take full advantage of all opportunities college will throw at me. I have already met with my career adviser and worked out a four year plan. I have registered for the required classes you must take to follow the GTREP program. In the summer transitioning to my sophomore year I will be installed in a co-op program. This program shows you what type of work you will be doing with your degree out of college. This program will also enable me to get some experience under my belt, and help me to build a broad resume for future employers.

Technology Skills
When it comes to computers I am what you would call, "technologically challenged". Although, there are some computer programs I have excelled in such as CADD and other 3-D modeling APPS.

Philosophy

 * Wikipedia could improve by having a better monitored system so false editors can not change around information and imply unreliable sources.
 * If Wikipedia had a central chat system i think it would be easier to share information and ideas more efficiently.
 * From what i have been told by my course instructor and based off what i have learned so far Wikipedia is a fairly reliable source and is more notable than people make it out to be.
