Jacob DelRosso Post #1

Hi, my name is Jacob DelRosso.  I am from Seekonk, Massachusetts, which is a small rural farm town on the border of Rhode Island, only about 15 minutes from Providence, Rhode Island. I moved often as a child, all throughout Rhode Island and Southern Massachusetts. I have lived in 19 different houses/ apartments, as my parents separated when I was an infant. I graduated from Seekonk High School, which is a smaller public school. In high school, I played football and basketball, and was also a a news anchor on our local access cable channel and school television station.

 

I have worked full time in high school for a company called Blount Fine Foods, a global seafood company, amd one of the largest seafood providers on the east coast. I worked in the winters in the distributing facilities and in the summer, I worked as a cook in the companies multiple seasonal restaurants. I think every student should have at least a part time job in high school, because it teaches you responsibility, and forces you to learn time management skills.

A hobby that I have grown to love over the years is being in the outdoors. I am an avid outdoors man, from anything to backpacking, canoe trips, hiking, and bushwacking. I spend at least one week every summer as a trip leader for an organization called Rhode Trip. Rhode Trip is a non-profit organization based out of Barrington, Rhode Island, which takes approximately 50 local youth aged 13 to 17 on a series of 6 outdoor leadership and survival trips every summer.

Through this Digital Applications course I am hoping to expand on my knowledge of the programs I am already familiar with and learn new skills in the programs I am not. I also hope to gain the necessary credits for a technology course. A blog that I find most interesting is New England Patriots Blog. I find this blog the most interesting, because I am a huge patriots fan. I find watching and reading this blog interesting, because it provides up to date news on the team, players, and some other problems around the league. This blog is credible, because it is published though ESPN, which is the worlds largest sports broadcasting organization. They cover a extremely large variety of sports and events and they have the worlds best analysts on staff, who are specialists in there sports.
