Microsoft Word: My Experience and Shortcomings
My previous experience with Microsoft Word encompasses a semester of Computer Science in high school and typing a couple papers using the program. I have never had Microsoft Office on my personal computer before this year. I have always had Microsoft Works, which may explain my lack of Microsoft Word skills. I would like to brush-up on basic text-editing skills such as using the "Replace" tool on the home ribbon, making text superscript or subscript, and using tab and tab stops.

A Little Bit About Me
Hi, my name is Kaileigh. Although I have lived in several different places along the east coast, I currently live in San Antonio, Texas. I like sports, animals, music, and traveling, and I especially like to run. I am on the cross-country and track teams at Trinity. My goal someday is to qualify for the Boston Marathon and complete an Ironman. As far as academics, here at Trinity, I plan to major in Biology so I can work in the medical field.
My secret fact is that I have been a vegetarian for seven years. I am often asked why I choose to live a meat-free lifestyle, and I tell people that it all started with the movie Gordy. Around the fifth-grade, I was watching the movie and was confused about why the main character, a baby pig, was trying to save his siblings and parents from a place with scary knives and hooks inside and a big bacon logo on the outside of the building. Sad as it may sound, up until then, I never knew that meat came from animals. As an animal-lover, it felt wrong to me to kill healthy animals just so that I could eat it when there are so many other options. I don't mean to sound like an advocate for PETA because I do respect other people's opinions who disagree with my rationale.
Prior to this Computer Class, I took a yearbook class and a computer science class in high school. I don't have any special computer skills or knowledge besides the basics, so I'm hoping that this class will help me to be able to work with computers a lot better. My email is kbyrne@trinity.edu if you want to contact me, feel free. Also, here is a link to a Google-Earth image of Queens, New York where I was born: http://maps.google.com/maps?ll=40.711844,-73.818378&z=12&t=h&hl=en
