[edit] About Me
I am a 20 year old, dividing my time between Philadelphia PA and Quakertown, PA (a town 40 miles north).
[edit] ASD
I have Autism/Asperger's, which affects social life but, as it often manifests, I have narrow interests in certain topics, e.g., math & science.
[edit] Faith
Since 2006 I am a born-again, Bible-believing Christian, attending a non-denominatonal church in my Quakertown home and a Presbyterian church in Phila. (I was raised Catholic.) The first Great Commandment of Christ is to love God with all your heart, soul, strength, and mind. Being a parktaker in God's majestic creation, I hope to study, understand, and apply scientific principles, professional and/or amateur, and beneift society with my practice, glorifying God in the process.
[edit] Career Plans
Due to Special Ed laws, I will still be schooled in the high school domain until 2009, though will take college classes simultaneously. After then I hope to be a biology major (w/ earth science minor)
[edit] How I became a Wikipedian
In the early 2000s I was studying the human body. I started with the human eye, though, being in middle school, could not understand the content, and memorized very rigidly the material. Then I shifted to distributing articles from Britannica to family and friends, finishing the human body and then articles of personal interest of these clients. (Virtually a mailing list!) In the summer of 2006 it culminated with a subscription of Britannica Online, but that ended as well by September. In Spring 08 I obtained a 2006 Britannica CD.
Meanwhile, I figured out how to operate Wikipedia, and would not have to distribute copies of Britannica material. I will use Britannica and other sources (such as McGraw Hill's Encyclopedia of Science & Technology, at the local library), in contributions. In my experience, once you practice, editing Wikipedia becomes second nature.
