Education
I attended Rochester Christian School, Which is on Embery Rd. In Penfeild NY from my second time in first grade untill the end of 4th Grade. I spent 5th Grade and part of 6th Grade at New Covenanant Christian School in Webster NY. By the blessings of God, NCCS has become a different school scince I was there, but we shall leave my comments at that. Ifinnished up 6th Grade at Rochester City School Districts' John James Audobon School #11/#33.

I attended Fredrick Douglass Jr. High as the 1980s began.
At that time, Douglass had a science focus magnet school, which I was a part of. It had a cluster system of Rooms, and I was in cluster B.
The cluster system has scince been replaced by a house system, but the principal is simelar. Each cluster consists of a family of the basic classrooms, Math, Science,English/Lanuage Arts, Socialstudies/History, All gathered about a central administrative area with attached locker room. You would be assinged to a group of students, 20 or so to a group, and rotate from one room to the next together as the classes changed,. Each day starting in a different room. Extra things like lunch, library, computer lab, gymn and foringn language would be in other parts of the building on certain days, and you would travel there together.

That was weird.

Next I went to East High. I was there for 5 years, 3 of them as a Junior. I was a Graduating Junior in 1988.

I attended the New York State Summer School of the Arts (NYSSSA) School of visual arts which was on the campus of SUNY Fredonia. I took Ceramics and drawing classes.

I did my First Sojurn at MCC, on the brighton campus in 1989, till 1993.

My second MCC stint began in fall of 2003.
I entered Roberts Weslayn College as a Junior in Fall 2005.


Accodring to a survey I took in College on Gardner's Learning Styles, I am Visual/Spatial with a heavy hands on emphisis, and also very linguistic.
Specificly, the survey scored on what teachers call a stanine scale, That is, 0-9 with 4.5 as average, and 9 as high. At the time, Gardner had 7 categories of inteligence, he now has more.

Other Stuff:
I am a notoriously bad speller, and Mediocre at high Maths, I love History and reading, and of course art.

I have a whole fictional town I have created Called Serwoodville Yorksylvania,
Which has not even barely apeared except for mentions of two Charecters on this site. Someday, I will put Information on serwoodville and it's dezziens on this site.

BTW, the two charecters are Cisaly Baeker-Graham, and Esmarr Kellmett.
Cis owns an art Gallery, And Essmarr is the Secretly Alien owner of the genral store, and a consumate salesmen.
Other Favorite Residents of Sherwoodville include Dr. Sharpenshtooph, the widowed High school Science teacher, and his daughter Ellomenopy, Mayor Forchel Eustace "Foggy" Fathom, Susan Kiaki who owns the towns breakfast shop and internet cafe, Frank Belarte, Part time profane dj, part time owner of a movie theater, full time fraud, Byron Bergen Jr., station manager of Radio Station WIND, and many more. Some day, you shall meet them I hope.
