hello all, as you all have found out i have Breast Cancer DUH!!  For fun i sing, dance, and above all Cook.  My plans for the future are to get a job with the DoD, CIA, or FBI, but i really want to work for NCIS.  I have been in the IT program for 1 year.  I am interested in Network security, i have always been fascinated with computer crimes.  I don't commit them!!!  I have always been good in working in teams, but i am normally quiet when i don't know anyone, and after you get to know me you'll wonder why you wanted me to talk LOL.  I am very loud and have always been that way (i'm Puerto Rican it is in my blood!)LOL.  I came into this program not even knowing how to turn a computer on.  My grandma used to always say we do not need a computer to write when we have our hands..  I followed that all my life until last August. I wish i would have bought a computer sooner they are fun to learn on and so much more convienent than looking through enyclopedias.

My presentation skills are not the greatest i do get shy when i go up to talk, but once i start then i losen up, but i definatley have to learn how to better in presenting.  This is my first online presentation.  I have never used MySpace, Facebook, or Blogs.  I am a very private person and never liked putting my buisness on those sites until i found this site.  This is a site i feel comfortable in.  I like beimg with other people whi share my story.  Remember Breast Cancer is not only a womans sickness, men have also been known to have Breast Cancer.  I have little knowledge of softwares for online presentations, so feel free to fill me in!

My talents are said above, but i love cooking ALOT!!!  You can see im not starving LOL!!!  I am also a volunteer of the Y-ME program through the American Cancer Society, and i have told many my testimony.  I never miss a year of the RELAY for Life and d on't plan on it!  I AM A SURVIVOR!!!  My grandmother had stage 4 BC and dies two years ago, but i did not know we had-had Cancer together until after she died.  We are the only two in my family to have Cancer.  THANK GOD!

I would like to improve as far as knowledge about presentation software.  My meeting times are hard with my three children, doctors appts., and school.  I have availability on monday afternoons after ITP 251, and thats about it.  unless you don't mind hearing screaming children then im free whenever at my house.  I hope to develope great proffesional relationships with you all.  Thank you
