This is the way I live

My name is Caitlin Maddox and I am currently a freshman at Georgia Southern University in Statesboro, Georgia (USA). My hometown is Dallas, Georgia (USA), which is about 35 miles northwest of Atlanta. I was born and lived in Marietta, Georgia until age 11 when I moved to Dallas, GA. I have moved 10 times in my life all in the same area, and have gone to 6 different schools. I graduated from East Paulding High School in the spring of 2010. I graduated with a 3.0 grade point average. I am going to Georgia Southern to pursue a degree in Nursing. I hope to one day be a neo-natal nurse. Georgia Southern is a school of about 20,000 students in the coastal region of Georgia. Georgia Southern is known as a "party school", but it is also known as one of the best nursing schools in Georgia. I have a part-time job in Statesboro as a waitress. I come from a small town where everyone knew everyone and everything you did. Most people that know of Dallas, GA consider it to be "redneck" or just too country. But I am proud to be from there. People think there is nothing to do in the country, I think there is more to do there. I enjoy fishing, four-wheeling (or muddin as some folks call it), horse-back riding, wakeboarding, going to the lake and most other outdoor activities. I lived about 10 minutes from Lake Alatoona, so me and my friends spent most of our summers out on the lake. While I was in High School I spent 3 years dancing at CK DanceWorks of Acworth. My dance instructor is a Falcons Cheerleader!

Helpin Wikipedia Out!

I have created an acticle on North Paulding High School. This high school is located in the county I grew up in and is where my brother attends school. I am working to improve this article. I have written this article as a project for my English 1101 course. I also edited a number of articles including: [Gilbert], [Francisco Giants minor league players], [Dahlonega, GA], [Aira_Mitsuki], [Hiram,Georgia], [Burnt Hickory Elementary], [East Paulding High School]

Ayo Technology

I believe I relate to technology well. Whether it is something I have used many times before, or something I am new to. Prior to being in English 1101, I had never used Wikipedia. I did not know how to create and article or how to used wikipedia in general, but by example it has gotten easier to use. I am proficient with Word document, Power Point & Excel.

Philosophy of Wikipedia

I am currently a new user of Wikipedia. I was taught in high school that Wikipedia was not a good source and to never use it. Wikipedia was even blocked from all the computers in my high school. Since being in college I have used Wikipedia often and found it is a very helpful site. I probably would not use Wikipedia as a credible site in a college paper but it is definitly useful in everyday life of trying to research things.

Language

I am a native speaker, writer & reader of English. I took 3 years of Spanish in High School, but only know simple words.

The End

I am a very outgoing person and love people! I take my schooling very seriously and hope to live out my dream of being a neo-natal nurse. My wikipedia article is just the start of getting to my goal. I live my life to the fullest and never let anyone bring me down. I love the small town life I grew up in, and hope to one day live on a pasture with horses (after I become a nurse, and marry a doctor of course!) :)
