About Shykel
I was born in the city of Erie, Pennsylvania. You could see Canada from my backyard, that's how close Canada is in relation to where I lived. My love for computers came about at a very young age, when I received myfirst handheld game system, a Gameboy Color. I would sit there for hours on end and play it until the batteries died. That is when my fascination of electronics came about; How did the little system play this animated picture in my hand? And why aren't there any batteries that never die?
As I grew so did my fascination with electronics and computers. I then began to do simple things with the computer that we owned. Such as removing viruses and things of that nature. I was actually the one who showed my brother how to log onto the internet. The AOL dial-up connection days. Skip about 10 years ahead and I'm in college. I now attend the University of West Georgia where I am a Computer Science major learning all there is for me to know about computers. As I embark on this road of academic success, I will learn as much as there is for me to learn and teach those who are willing to be taught along the way.
