About me...
Welcome to my first attempt at a Wikipedia page. Just to share a little bit about me: I am a college student currently attending the local Community College working towards a Business degree. While in college I am taking an English class, which is what ultimately led me to creating this page. I have found this assignment to be very interesting learning more about a site I frequent whenever I am searching for information.

I am also a mother of 2 great kids, one of which I am working on grooming for college herself. She is only in 8th grade, but I believe it is never too early to encourage your child not to take the same path you did but instead to take the one you wish you had. I also have a 3rd grader who keeps us busy with his year around sports activities. As a family we enjoy spending time with friends as often as possible and getting outdoors. Since we live in the beautiful Pacific Northwest, there are always sights to take in and beauty to behold. Sometimes we will just get in the car and drive. We love a good road trip whether just a day trip or down the coast.

In my free time, I enjoy patchwork quilting and knitting which are novice skills at best and self-taught from YouTube tutorials, but I find them to be very therapeutic and eventually I would like to find a sewing or knitting club I could spend time at working expanding my knowledge and skillset.

My Wikipedia Activities
Primarily, but not limited to, a first source of information on movies, books, TV shows and famous people past or present. I like to see what their real name is, date of birth (or death), what nationality they are or religion. I am so accustomed to the set-up Wikipedia offers that it is my go-to for generalized information. I would say I visit at least once daily. I appreciate that it is a collaborative site so usually by the time something new is "leaked" to the public, by the time I Wiki-search I find the information in as much entirety as I can find via the World Wide Web.
