Starting Blogging - Me

Based on my last post, in order to track my changes, transformations and growth, I need to first explain how I start. Talking about yourself can be a difficult thing to do. For people who are humble or uncomfortable with themselves, personal bias and the impressions that it makes leaves the author's analysis skew from the truth. For this it is best to stick to facts, cold and hard, yet reliable. I do not think of myself as a facts person, but using them to my advantage is always helpful. I'm here at school and ThreeStacks is saying I'm talking really cheesy, so I guess I'll start with me.

I am, and will probably always be a Google Fanatic. Android has taken over my life. The Ollivander of Android is my goal for a nickname and I really need to start working on reaching that goal. I've memorised some of the specs of several Android phones but that's not good enough.
I'm in the IB program in high school. Not quite diploma, but almost. Recently I've been really interested in the amplification of human biology using technology. Tony Stark is my idol (I am obsessed with trying to figure out how the arc reactor works). I'm really trying hard to be the best that I can in school, I wish to go to Waterloo University in Mechatronics. A robotics-like engineering program that looks toward the future of technology for success. I am also very much interested in business. Green Business. Consumerism and greed have taken over the world, quite literally in fact as the world is deteriorated everyday in order for consumers to get what they want and people to get rich. But I believe Green Business (see Green MBA) can save the world from this, a new business where the focus is not about greed but rather about the environment, over-population, human rights. The list goes on. I am interested in a course like this but this Green MBA is the closest thing I've found so far.
One of the most significant things in my life right now is how I am influenced by my IB English Teacher, SVH. She is quite awesome and really gets me to think and critic the world around me. I've not only learnt a lot of English from her but everyday after her class, it seems I learn a new way I can perceive the world. Her insights that she explores with us in class has a real impact on me. I think this type of reflection is what separates the smart from the wise. Her wisdom is something I also strive for, just like her I wish to be able to have solid morals and values that I can base my analysis of the world on, in this way I can achieve wisdom.
At this point in my life I am working on becoming all-rounded for university applications, (but also for my personal education of course). Currently working at Quiznos, I'm thinking of switching to Telus or OTV so that I can get more of a technology-business background. Plus with Telus I can get the newest Androids!!

There may or may not be more to add to this list, I think I can edit and add to blogs after I publish it; If not, I'll just make another one. I'm really starting to like this blogging thing.

Innovating my life,
