Who is Joshua Rivera? - A Little Bit About Me

Hello to all seeing this post! My name is Joshua Rivera, I am 18 years old and current a freshmen at the College of Southern Nevada. I am a first-generation college student as well as a second-generation Latin American, more specifically Salvadoran American. My biggest interests include musica and cars. I currently own a 2001 Pontiac Firebird, and I am hoping to save up for a classic car to turn into a Lowrider, something I've dreamed of doing ever since I was a kid. In terms of music, I mainly listen to Hip Hop, R&B, Oldies, Soul, and various Latin genres. My top 5 includes Kendrick Lamar, Daniel Cesar, 2Pac, Joey Bada$$, and Mac Miller. I am very introverted, unless I know you, I will be extremely quiet. But get to know me and I can be a fun dude to kick it with. 

When I arrived at the first class of the semester, I immediately knew this would be a good class. I will be completely transparent, when I heard that from now on class will start at 7am, I was about ready to drop the course, but I decided to stay, as I thought it would be a nice way to discipline myself and get rid of my procrastination issue. So far, the class is going over many things I already know, but I can tell I will learn a lot more about computer literacy that I never even knew was a thing, 

2.2.3 I have used many different types of operating systems in my lifetime. I've went from Apple OS, to Chrome OS, to Android, to IOS, and Windows. Each and everyone I've listed, I have a pretty good understanding of. I've used these skills to become versatile in whatever workplace or school I go to. With each system, I've mostly used trial and error to learn the ropes, and then look up YouTube tutorials for more complex or niche parts of the OS.
