126 Studios Blog

I am currently a college student, and will be attending the University of Saint Francis this coming fall.  I attained my Associates Degree in Web Design & Administration from Joliet Junior College.  I was a spotlight student at JJC as well, you can view that article over here.

One of the scholarships that I am applying for is the Franciscan Challenge.  It requires that I write a 500-1000 word paper on why I chose Web Development (Computer Science) as my chosen field. What you are about to read is the essay that I will be submitting. I hope you enjoy it and will possibly be able  see why I do what I do.  Please post your comments and if you want-contact me with anything you may want to know about.
