Introduction

 Hello, I am a junior at Florida State University. My major is Humanities. I played two years on the Florida State's softball team. I am actually planning to switch my major for something in the medical field.  I have taken a course related to the programs of Microsoft, which includes: PowerPoint, Word, Excel, and Adobe. I also have taken a course in relation to the programming with C++. However, I have found that course to be quite difficult. I am currently enrolled in a course dealing with coding and programming with Java and Javascript.  Learning resources that I use is Google, library books that retain to whatever information I need of, and social media. I explore these learning resources with my phone and personal laptop, which I use for all school assignments.
