Since I was a baby, I was always around technology. There were always available computers, cameras, televisions, cell phones, house phones, CD players and more in my house. We started out with one computer in our house, until my sisters and I got old enough to know how to work one. Growing up with one computer was hard when you have two other sisters to fight with to use it. So as we each got older, we received one for the holidays / birthdays. Not only did I love going on the computer, but I loved taking pictures even more.
When my parents thought I was old enough to be responsible for a camera, I was given one as a gift. I received my first digital camera in 9th grade. Every since 9th grade, I have been through four different cameras. Now I have Nikon Coolpix touch screen that I could not possibly live without. My grandfather always carried around his huge film camera and was always there to take family pictures. I think that is where my love for taking pictures came from. I do not go anywhere without my camera. Since I have had a digital camera I have probably taken somewhere between 10 and 20,000 pictures. I live for pictures. My friends think I am crazy, but one day they will look back and appreciate all the memories that I have captured over the years.
Other then using a camera, I have always been a creative person. In the past I always used Photoshop and other programs to create slideshows, calendars, movies, and power points. I went to University of Hartford my freshman year of college where I was a graphic design major. Although I really enjoyed working with designs that involved the computer, I did not think the major would get me anywhere in life so I switched to Elementary Education. I consider myself a technology person, and I am pretty good with different devices. I know how to do a lot of things on the computers and use a lot of different programs including most of the Microsoft Office programs. My family tends to come to me for computer help. I know how to work a cell phone, an ipod, a computer, a television, and a radio, so I consider myself set for life. Without those things, I do not think I would be able to accomplish much.
