First Post

Hello and welcome to my blog. I got the idea for this because I thought it might help and maybe inspire people in my situation. I always said I was going to go back to school one day but once I did it I didn't realize how hard it would be. From the GED to getting accepted to a college to registering for classes to financial aid. I'm far from an expert but you just might learn something. I know I will. So with that I'll give you a little introduction and a welcome to Modern Geekery.

When I was 17 I dropped out of school thinking that I would be okay without any type of education. People do it every day, right? I worked alot of different jobs but my passion has always been computers. I finally landed what I thought would be a decent job for awhile and started to settle, but as a dreamer I always thought I would move on to bigger and better things. I was laid off in February of 09' and began my journey into higher education. I completed my GED and graduated with excellent scores. I thought I could get in to any college. I was wrong. I finally got into a school and now my adventure has began.

This will be the place that I post my day to day goings on from high school drop out to, hopefully, college graduate.
