Hi, my name is Ali Vang. I'm currently enrolled at Silver Lake College and pursuing my Bachelor's degree in Information Science and Technology. This is my 4th year in college, and I will be graduating in December of 2013. For the first two years in college, I had attended Lakeshore Technical College. I got my Associate's Degree there in the Program of Network Specialist. After those two years, I transferred to Silver Lake College to continue in my education.
I was born in Sheboygan, Wisconsin. Since my dad was planning to attend UW-Platteville, we moved to Platteville for about 5 years. Next, we moved to Mauston for about 2 years. Then we moved to Madison for 2 years. Finally, we moved back to Sheboygan because that was where the rest of the family were.
One thing that is interesting about me is that I first learned how to play chess in school when I was in 7th grade. That same year, I joined the Chess club and I got first place. I also got first place in 8th grade. During my freshman year and sophomore year, I went up against challenging opponents and got 5th place in both years. During my junior and senior year, I got first place again in both years.
Another thing that is interesting about me is that I graduated from Sheboygan North High School as an honors graduate. I graduated with a GPA of 3.909. Currently, I am working at Goodwill as a cashier. I've been working there ever since March 2007. From April 2012 to September 2012, I was an IT Intern at Bank First National. The experience that I gained there was priceless.
The purpose for this blog is to express my thoughts and ideas for World Literature class. My expectations for this class is that I will come out of it having a better understanding how to pick apart a story. So far, Icarus has been an interesting read. We'll see what happens as time goes on.
