EIT Introduction!

My name is Lauren Henderson and I'm from Fullerton, California. Even though I love it at home, I've actually grown to love Texas just as much. Still, the thing I miss most about California is my family. I live with my parents, my older brother, Eric, who graduated from Trinity this past year, and my younger sister Dana, who is only 15, yet towers over me.

I'm currently also playing soccer for Trinity. Like most collegiate athletes, I began playing soccer when I only 5 years old. Since, then, it has pretty much taken over my life and consumes about 90 percent of my time outside of the classroom. When I'm not on the field, I love reading, listening to music, or just hanging out with friends. This summer, I had the opportunity to do all of my favorite things, when I embarked on 26 hour road trip with another member of this class, Katie Garrett. We traveled from Fullerton, California, through Arizona and New Mexico, and finally ended back at Trinity in San Antonio. It was a tremendously long, slightly boring, but shockingly beautiful drive.
The long wait made finally arriving back at Trinity again that much more exciting.

Back at school, the stresses and worries of classes picked up pretty quickly. Added to my list of worries was this computer class because sadly, for the most part, I am computer illiterate, hence the reason I didn't test out of it to begin with. I've had enough experience to create a decent spreadsheet or pie chart for a science or economics class, but beyond that, my knowledge is minimal. At this point, the thought of writing the code for my own website is still terrifying, but I look forward to the day when it's a piece of cake. Check this out; I've already learned how to link my email address on the first day. Alas, one step closer to computer literacy!
