My TED Story

I was always identified as a gifted child with a passion for learning. I have been obsessed with technology as long as I can remember. After the suicide of my father I nearly lost my path, but I am now studying Information Systems Management at The University of Cincinnati. I hope to one day make a major contribution to Operating Systems advancing the technology to better the world.

• A comment on Conversation: What do you think about the term "fitting in" at school, work, or an outing somewhere?

  Apr 26 2012: Personally I feel the need to adapt to each environment, I have a strong leadership personality so in certain circumstances I fit in by leading the class discussion, or distributing roles at work. When I am performing my job (STNA) I fit in by being extremely patient and identifying the needs of each individual resident. I feel like "fitting in" is a necessary skill and one that you must have the ability to adapt in order to fit the required needs of any given circumstance.
