When I visited Northeastern and the diesel shop, I fell in love with it.

One thing that I will never forget is when I came here everyone was so friendly and welcoming. If someone has an opportunity to come here, they should take it! It is a special experience to see the world in another way and spread their horizons.

I always found inspiration from my professors at NJC who made me laugh, and encouraged me to be the best I could be.  Eventually I would like to use my skills to become a video game programmer or designer.
