Hi my name is Obediah, I’m a freshman here at City Tech so this is as new to me as it is for any of you. I graduated from DeWitt Clinton high school in Bronx, New York.  My nickname is Obie for those of you that don’t like or have trouble pronouncing my name. I’m not that active, you may know that if you know me and if you’ve seen my physique. But I LOVE basketball and football, watching and sometimes playing. On my free time I like to play video games like NBA 2K and Call of Duty. If you get to know me you will find out I have a good sense of humor (I’d like to think so) and I can be a very fun person, but I do have my flaws (as everybody else). One out of three of my life passions is to become a sports analyst. Whenever I watch sports (basketball and football) I find myself knowing a lot about what’s going on and I feel that my insight on the game is something everybody should know. My second life passion is to become a game designer one of the reasons I came to City Tech. My other passion is to become a computer engineer and my reason for that is because my Xbox 360 broke and I’m determined to learn how to fix it.

My avatar is a quote, “Tell the truth and making someone cry is better than telling a lie and making someone smile” and I chose this for a specific reason. It caught my eye because it reminded of the moment when I told my best friend I didn’t think she was beautiful because she asked for my honest opinion. In conclusion to that LONG story, I chose that quote as my avatar because I feel the truth is always the right way to go.

Someone may interpret my avatar differently by thinking they can get anything out me. What I mean by that is people think just because I say I’m an honest person they can ask very personal or inappropriate questions and I’ll answer them. That is not true, I answer what I feel is appropriate and if I don’t answer that means your question was too personal or I just didn’t feel like revealing that truth. That is where most people get me wrong, if pleading the fifth amendment in a life or death situation will guarantee me life I will do it.

My profile will tell people that I prefer to be honest rather than dishonest. My reason behind that is because I feel that the truth always catches up to you in life. One lie can change how a people see you more importantly how you see yourself. When you lose yourself as person you start to question yourself more and that could be bad mentally.Also, that my major department is Computer Engineering Technology. At this point I don’t know what my major will be, but I thought I’d just go along with something that interest me.
