I an 19 year old US citizen. I am currently a Web Design student at my local Vocational School. I start Jr. college Summer 2009. I want to get my Associate in Arts degree in one year and then immediately start in on an Associate in Science, Electronic Engineering. I have a blog about my dreams and hopes for the next 2.5 years and the education I aspire to get. You can visit that blog here, if you want too.

I joined this site because I'd like to get to know as many people as I possibly can and get advise and tips and you can only do but so much research! After a while you need to talk to folks with first hand experience from travelers. I dont see myself going anywhere out of country for atleast 2.5 years from the time that I start college. So probably sometime in 2012, god willing.

I want to take a year off after I finish up what I want from Jr. College and go to China, where I would like to study martial arts and make Hajj before returning to the US for university. I want to study Electronic Technology Engineering, but I also LOVE foreign languages. If you want to read about my (limited) experiences and contact with other langauges, than go to the forums of How-to-learn-any-language.com

I'm also an aspiring Esperantist.
