<p>Technology
Here is my “strength” what will set me apart:
I have self-taught myself how to create websites from scratch. I’ve been the website designer/manager/producer for ten websites. This is the activity that I’ve invested my life in basically for the last three years. I’ve done my school’s website, I’ve done local and state-wide business websites, I’ve done small companies, I’ve done student-government and sports websites, I’ve done it all.
I’m the Production Manager of an entirely student-run company called 'Stang Software, meaning that one other student and I are in charge of twenty or so other technology-oriented students in creating websites, playbills for the high schools, and other pamphlets. Personally, I am in charge of writing contracts, managing my employees, and conducting face-to-face meetings with my clients (who are three times my age more often than not!)
I am in my second year with this company and we’ve made thousands of dollars already with thousands more coming upon successful completion of projects. Some of the websites that I have done are affiliated with 'Stang Software but many are not.</p>
<p>Jobs
-Junior Programmer for Sofiac INC, a local software company. I worked there on several tasks for most of 2007.
-Website contractor for my county’s library system. I code miscellaneous portions of the website and get paid significantly more than nearly all hourly jobs I have heard of HS juniors or seniors get</p>
<p>Church
-I am actively involved in my church (common attribute, I know)
-I am a member of my church’s Session, the ruling body of the church. I am the Youth-Representative with full voting rights.
-Within the Session, I am on a committee aimed mainly at coordinating youth events
-Member of the Baltimore Presbytery Youth Council, a group of twelve HSers representing all Presbyterian within the “Baltimore Presbytery,” a collection of 75 local churches. We plan retreats, youth rallies, among other smaller events.</p>
<p>Thank you all for reading this long post. Feel free to leave a comment or ten.</p>
