My name is Jamila Reynolds and I was born and raised in Anchorage, Alaska. (Sorry I did not live in an Igloo or ride dogsleds to school...I know, what a disappointment!) Even though I was born in Alaska, I have moved around pretty much my whole life. I've lived in Alaska, California, Texas and London. My mom works for BP so we followed wherever the oil took us. My parents are divorced; my dad currently lives in Dallas and my mom (along with my younger brother) live in London England. As you can see I have a lot of homes, but mainly I consider myself from Alaska and London.
Here's a map of Anchorage:

I have always been a really active person; I've played soccer, basketball, track, softball, I've swam and I've cheered. My whole life has pretty much revolved around sports since there wasn't a lot to do in Alaska. With that being said, I am currently a cheerleader at Trinity University. However, even though sports are my life, I like to do other things too like; shopping, talking on the phone (my mom would say I do this a lot), eating, taking naps, and dancing ALL the time.
High school was a challenge for me, mainly because I had to move to another country. However I ended up having a wonderful time in London and I believe that if I hadn't moved there, I probably wouldn't have heard of Trinity University. At first, I was completely captivated by Trinity's beautiful campus and it quickly stole my heart as my first choice school. However now that I am here and I've met tons of great people, got to enjoy amazing weather, and eat a lot of great food, I've realized that sometimes you can go on your first impression of something and make the right decision.
Computers have not always been my strong point. I know how to e-mail, instant message, and use Google, Microsoft word and PowerPoint: that's about it. I really hope taking this Computer Skills class can help me further my knowledge of computers so hopefully I can discover and learn how to use all the other great things a computer has to offer.
Well, here is a little video of me:
Hopefully I'll be making many more blog entries later!

Good entry Jamila. I really liked how you linked to Google Maps to show Anchorage. If you have any questions, feel free to email me.
Hi Jamila! Your blog post was really informative! Do you know Isabella Cazier? She also came from Alaska and is also very worldly. I definitely fell in love with Trinity while visiting, too! Well, I hope you have fun and do well in this class.
