My Intro
As
my title states my name is Tyler Courtney. I am from Simi Valley about a ½ hour
away from Goleta where I meet my long-term girlfriend. I have been in school my
entire life and I believe whole-heartily that there is always something more to
learn but I like to expand that we determine the rate in which we learn. I have
been determined to make sure that there has been no stall in my education. I
graduated high school and due to my modest family income had to go to Moorpark
community college even though being accepted into CSUN and UCI. I also had to
get a full-time job in order to provide for myself and my initial college
education. So I went to Moorpark College determined to make sure I could get
into a University grade college so I applied for the TAG program which
guarantees entrance into UC colleges with various standards. After attaining
and executing my initial academic plan I was accepted into several universities
and chose to come to UCSB.
Before
coming to UCSB I decided to major in History and minor in writing. I then
joined and helped start Sigma nu Fraternity which at the time consisted of
eight people. As of today we have gained over 50 members into our fraternity
and have a top ranked fraternity house. I was elected to be the House Manager
and have been working on my History major as well as my writing minor. I have
also retained a job as a Home Depot cashier part-time all of which have given
me a full schedule which as of recently been a real ordeal.
But
every obstacle has been an opportunity to succeed and so I look at every
difficulty with a positive attitude.
