I'll tell you about myself which is, of course, the point of this branch of the forum.
I'm only 16. I hope that doesn't make me any less welcome. I'm not particularly sure what the age range is on this website. I'm very unsure of my interests. I know I'm a math/science person primarily. However, I"m also gifted in the arts. Good art seems to happen by accident, for some strange reason. I don't like to put deep thought into art, particularly because I'd just feel ridiculous.
I'm the "smart one" in my family. My family of five consists of my parents and my two older siblings. My parents are from Mexico and never went to school. My older brother didn't graduate from high school, and he is, thankfully, getting out of prison tomorrow (after a year of imprisonment). My sister dropped out of HS, but I think she has her diploma anyway. She's a drug addict (the easy stuff, like marijuana [sp?]) and is currently unemployed and living off welfare. I like giving my family background because it makes me feel so much better about myself. My family, actually, isn't stupid. They just seem like they would be from an objective point of view.
To continue the subject of myself, I would say that the thing I value most out of everything is my knowledge and my way of thinking. I have a quiet sense of pride in everything I can do with my mind that others can't.
Currently, I'm a HS Junior. I take advanced classes but I'm defintely not a straight-A student (mostly because I don't find the people that do get straight A's particluarly enjoyable). I think that when I enter a university I'll be majoring in the biological sciences or some kind of environmental study. For now, I must be leaving. It is 1AM in the morning, and my alarm is scheduled to go off at 6AM. What a restful night I have in store.
I hope I did not overdo (or underdo) my introduction. Feel free to ask questions because I did not cover many general topics that are usually covered when introducing one's self.
