Introduction of Self

My name is David Coggin. I am a sophomore here at Lenoir-Rhyne studying accounting. I am a full time student. I was born and raised in Salisbury NC which is only an hour east of Hickory. Both of my parents work. My father actually works at Catawba College in Salisbury. My mother is currently at home recovering from hip replacement surgery that she had at the end of the year. I only have one sibling. My brother just started his last semester studying architecture at UNC Charlotte.

                I am fairly confident using a computer. I have worked with Excel a good amount. However I cannot say the same thing Access. I know I have used Access before but I do not remember much about it. I think I worked with it in middle school and do not know if I have used it since then. The last computer class I took was in my senior year in high school. I did not use Excel or Access in that class. It was all writing code and creating webpages. From this class I hope to finish with a greater understanding of Excel and be reminded what Access is and how to use it. I am taking this class because it is required for my major.

                Sports have always been of great interest to me. While I did not come to school to play sports I still try to take advantage of every opportunity to play. I play Ultimate Frisbee here as a club sport. I also try to participate in intramural sports whenever I can. I have actually won two championships in intramural soccer in my first two years here. Basketball is another sport that I play regularly. While I like competing in sports it also keeps me in shape.

                Not only do I enjoy playing sports, but I watch a lot of sports also. Since I am from North Carolina I cheer for local teams like the Panthers and Bobcats. My parents are from further south so not all of my teams are local. I have family in Atlanta and I am a huge Braves fan. My parents both went to the University of Georgia so I am also a big Bulldog fan. I do not have a college basketball team that I cheer for but I look forward to March Madness every year.

                I hope this helps people get know me a little better.
