Well, I'm 17 years old, male, in Indiana. I am a graphic/web designer and was a programmer in the past. I went to BPA state in graphic design and team web design and got 2nd in graphics and 3rd in web design. I plan on going to college for graphic and web design and make a living doing what I love.
My Past:
The Downhill
I was a straight A student until 7th grade where I had classes with 2 teachers who had more favoritism then any other teacher. I was one of the people that wasn't liked by these. My science teacher caused me a dark age of depression to the point of attempted suicide twice. Since then, I have made a slow uphill to Low B, High C average. I am going to be a senior in high school come August.
My Old Business
At the age of 15, I was the owner of a fairly decent business that brought in good pay. It later ended me up with 20 grand in the bank for college. This was before my parents stepped in. As soon as I turned 16, they began pursuing me to get a "real job" where I would earn money doing something I don't like. Basically, me experiencing the real world. *rolls eyes*. I then got a job at a local grocery store doing cashier work. I am still there and will be there a year in August. Eventually, when my parents began their current divorce (will explain later), my mom allowed me to get a graphic design job at a local internet provider. I also do work there assisting the graphic designer.
Third Divorce...Wtf?
My parents are currently going through their third divorce (all demanded by my dad). They got together again twice promising to change. Here's the kicker. During the second divorce, my grandma (dad's side) called me a worthless piece of s***. I have still not forgiven her and to this day she denies that she was in the wrong. Well during this divorce, my dad told me in front of my sister that I don't deserve last name. So I don't have communication on my dad's side at all!
My Future
I plan on going to college to get a bachelor's in graphic design and web design (who would have thought). The job outlook for both is increasing and I want to get in the flow before that window closes.
My Relationship
June 5, 2006. I started a great relationship with Ashlee, a girl who was always too shy to talk to anyone. Summer vacation started and I sent her an e-mail just asking her whatsup. We then hooked up and had a GREAT relationship until around prom night where I could tell things were going downhill. On our one year anniversary, we did more arguing then talking. It's a very unstable relationship and while I'm changing to make her happy, she still isn't changing for me.
Overall
My name is Michael, I go to Norwell High School, and I kind of enjoy life except at some points.
I look forward to making some friends on this forum and helping it grow and develop!
