Just to publicize, my recent large decision and the current choices I have awaiting my voice. First off, I’ve finished my High School portfolio and I’ll be making those four pieces publicly available in the next few days for those of us who wish to evaluate my current literacy rate.

As the post title suggests, I have chosen which college I will be attending - Bellarmine University located in Louisville, KY . I will be going for my bachelors degree in their Computer Engineering course starting June 2nd; three days after I graduate from LaRue County High on May 30th.

For the past few months I’ve been trying to get into the University of Lousiville for their computer engineering course; however, Bellarmine requested me offering $14,300 a year in grants before FASFA . Thus, I decided to visit the college last week to see what I was throwing around beside almost $15k. I ended up in a conversation for an hour with the my soon-to-be professor over the course. The basics of the conversation were that the classes would only consist of about ten students total, and the college did not really have an engineering school; however, because of this he is able to give individual lesson plans to his students. That in itself hooked me into this choice; anyone who knows me knows that I’m quite advanced and I don’t wish to pay for hours of classes just reteaching me aspects of advanced computing I am already very aware of.

That covers the whole reason why I choose that college, now there is another huge decision regarding my foundation of how my occupational future will unfold. While in conversation with Professor Muzaffar - after I told him that I’m a large Linux addict and my current machine consists of five physical drives totalling over one terabyte of space, separated into ten logical drives, three of which are AES encrypted using the SHA256 hashing algorithm -  he stated that I was the only freshman he has EVER had that he’d recommend to a company "off-the-bat".

Three days later, I find myself on the phone with a Mr. Roger Kobal, the president of KiZan Technologies discussing a possible computer engineering and security internship at the age of 17 before even attending my freshman year of Bellarmine. Mr. Kobal, referred me to his head of internships, Mrs. Dense Paul, who is very egar to hire me after an hour interview via telecommuting. Currently, we are looking at visiting with the development team, security auditing team, and the enginerring team next week.

- That’s my story and I’m sticking too it; you have my cell call to talk. If you don’t email me at David@NeoeliteUSA.com and I’ll provide it if I deem it safe.
