Liam G’s Information Technology Project
Liam decided to dive into his interest in information technology by designing and building his own computers. He salvages most of the parts from old computers and adds new mother boards, processing units and graphic cards as needed. He recently totally designed and built a wood housing for one of his computers all the way from blueprint through construction and mounting of the computer parts. The result is a fully functional computer, able to run processing jobs 24 hours a day, all inside a unique wooden container.
I Want to be Amazing
I want to be amazing
I want to love so deeply that even the birds don’t know what to sing I want to be crazy but most of all, I want to be ok with being crazy I want to look out into the world and shout “Here I am!” I want to lay my heart out exposed for all to see without a single part to hide Because I want to be safe and I want to know that I can wake up every single day and stare at myself in the mirror and smile I’m done hiding I’m done shying away from every obstacle because it is only an obstacle until I see it as an opportunity And I want to take every opportunity I can get Because I want to always be able to look back and say with confidence that I have no regrets I want to look you in the eyes and say that I love you |
But most of all, I want to mean it and how can I look into someone else’s eyes until I learn the power of what my eyes can see I want to know what it means to hurt so that I can appreciate what it means to love I want to feel my heart break so that I know exactly what I am doing before I go messing with someone else’s and then I want to feel my heart heal and let it beat stronger than it ever did before I want to be true because nothing is worth doing unless it comes from a place of honesty and integrity And I want to share this all because none of this is worth it if I can’t let my fingers glow as I reach my hand out to yours So I want to be amazing but I want to do it on my own terms So maybe, just maybe All I want to do is be — A.
