Contributions to Wikipedia
I have previously worked on the 2010 Pakistan floods, Galactik Football, Albany, Georgia, The Parks at Chehaw (Albany, Georgia) and the Guidewire Software articles. I created the Carolina Cup page myself and I plan on continuing my work on the Carolina Cup article and discovering new articles to make contributions to.

Relationship with Technology
Growing up, I have always been interested in technology. I often find myself playing around with the internet or other devices and trying to figure out how they work. I use technology in my everyday life and I find it very important to learn how to operate the devices in our world. I am good with technology to a point. I know how to use devices such as cell phones and iPods but in the cyber-world I am not nearly as intelligent. I am not good with coding and stuff like that. I intend to learn more about coding though through my Wikipedia experience.

My Opinion of Wikipedia
Throughout high school, I was told that Wikipedia is not a reliable source. However, as I have come to use Wikipedia more and see all the work people put into I know that it is indeed reliable. The reason my teachers would claim that it was unreliable was that anyone can publish and edit articles. This is true; however, Wikipedia has many serious editors who are determined to make the site as trustworthy as possible. As soon as an error is spotted, the problem is taken care of. I for one think that Wikipedia is very reliable and would suggest it to anyone.

Languages
Born and raised in the United States, it’s pretty much a given that I primarily speak English. Along with English I also have five years of high school Spanish under my belt. I wouldn’t necessarily call myself a fluent speaker, but I can speak and understand the language at a somewhat high level. In college, I hope to expand my knowledge of Spanish and maybe even pick up another language. I’m interested in learning French or maybe even Japanese!
