Employment

My current job is as a Crew Member at Mcdonald's. There, I mostly either work at the second window or work on fries. At the second window, I'm the friendly face people see who hands them their food and drinks. As the fry guy, I'm the guy who manages the fries, making sure we have enough fries for not just the orders that have already come in but also making sure we have enough fries in the next few minutes when the fries are done cooking. I do this by monitoring both the orders coming in, as well as the line inside, and the number of cars that are in the line. Not only that, but I also monitor the time. All of those help me in my job to get a rough estimate on how many baskets of fries I need to drop in the fryer to cook.

Interests

One of my interests I have had for as long as I can remember is Star Wars. I love it. I love seeing all the shows that come out. The Mandalorian was Awesome. The book of Boba Fett was really cool, I loved how it all came together in the last episode or two. I have also found a love for the different styles of star destroyers found in the star wars franchise. Some of which I have pictures of above.

Another one of my interests is the MCU. I am an avid fan of all Marvel movies and shows. I love watching all the epic battles, as well as the characters and their backstories. And I especially loved Iron Man and his story.

I also love gaming. My favorite game right now is Conan Exiles. I currently have played 5300+ hours of Conan Exiles. Some of the things I love about Conan Exiles is the building system. I love that I can log on, and build anything I want, and there are so many options of building styles and decorations to use. You can build anything from a magic castle or a dwarven hall in a cave to a homey little cottage in a green valley, or even a massive mansion with a big pool for pool parties, as well as great marble structures that would put the greeks to shame. The only real limit to what you can build is your imagination. But also how much space is in the place your building too, but that's a separate issue. Additionally, the combat system is fun and there's so much that goes into it. Things like what perks you chose, how much armor you have, what class of armor you have, the stats of the weapon, as well as the type of weapon, and what specific weapon it is matters. Plus when your playing heavily modded Conan, as I do, there's even more that goes into it, such as how buffed you are, how many and what kinds of followers you have, how good they leveled, as well as what armor, weapons, and buffs they have goes into it too. All those also apply to who/what your fighting as well. Every little thing matters in the combat system. That combined with the combat being a little like dark souls adds to some of the fun of the combat. But that also plays into how much of a chore the game is at times. All those can and have made the game feel long, stretched out, and a bit of a chore at times as well. But it's not all fun, some of all games is a bit boring and a chore at times as well. But I still log on and hang with my online friends anyway. Because this game is flipping AWESOME!

After Highschool Plans

My after Highschool plans are currently to go to either ECC or AU, I am planning on getting a job in IT or another related occupation by the end of high school. At ECC or AU, I plan on getting one of their tech degrees. I am currently considering going to ECC for 2 years to get an associate's degree, then transferring to AU for their Cyber Security degree. When I am done with college, I would like to go into either, Cybersecurity,  server maintenance, or IT, but by that point, I will have had a few years of experience in the tech industry from a job I will take during college, and that will make applying to a better job with my shiny new degree easier. My ultimate goal is to be working on servers and/or computers hands-on in my job because I prefer to work with hardware rather than software. As well as to be making a decent living, enough that I can support myself and have money to spend on things I want, have a decent-sized house, and preferably have a dog or two. Preferably Black Labs or Lab Mixes.
