Description of Hobbies

I first developed an interest with computers back in 2017, and I soon learned how to build my own using the motherboard, CPU, GPU, and other components. I learned how to operate the sound equipment for my dad's church in the booth, complete with mics, aux, and more, after I mastered computer building. I have always played baseball, basketball, track, and football, but as I grew older, my love for football grew more and more. When I got to know these two former instructors, Mr. Barnes and Coach Tharpe, I became interested in criminology. They informed me that, based on my ability to solve problems, they saw a potential investigator in me. I immediately ran with what they suggested! It all began with my first significant project, which was the Ted Bundy serial killer case.
