A little bit about me...

My name is Justin Campbell and my hometown is in sleepy Victoria, Texas. My family and I moved to Victoria from Galveston, Texas when I was an energetic toddler of about 2 years old. Victoria is not the biggest town you will ever come across but it is certainly not the smallest. With a population of about 63,000 people, one movie theater, mall, mini-golf course, and bowling alley Victoria provides just enough entertainment to keep the its youth, as well as myself, satisfied. I recently graduated Suma Cum Laud from one of the two high schools in Victoria, Memorial High School, with high honors and grades. During high school and continuing up to present day I play for the football team as well as throw shot put and discus for the track team. Sports and physical activities make up most of the activities I do here at trinity but I do make time for the occasional adventure to downtown San Antonio.

I have a deep passion for world travel as well as foreign cultures and have been to several countries such as the island of Aruba, England, France, Germany, Czechoslovakia, Austria, and my favorites, China and Japan. Trust me, if there was a job that payed an employee six figures just for traveling the world I would be the first to apply. I have always been deeply fascinated with Asian culture so as a result I take every opportunity to travel to East Asia. I traveled to China in 2004 touring several cities such as Xi' an, Guilin, Hong Kong, and Beijing and explored several beautiful monuments and national treasures such as The Great Wall, the Temple of Heaven, the Terracotta Soldiers, and the Forbidden City. This past summer my Dad and I visited Japan for two weeks on a trek that took us through the cities of Tokyo, Kyoto, Kinosaki, and Fujisan. We visited a plethora of old Shinto and Zen temples, the famous Golden Pavilion, and climbed Mt. Fuji. My Dad and I even got the opportunity to stay at a Buddhist temple with a group of monks. This also brings me to the hint for the scavenger hunt which is I climbed Mt. Fuji and the Great Wall of China!

This is a picture of myself eating a meal at the Monks Temple.

As far as computer skills are concerned I've taken a couple of classes in the common uses and functions of computers as well as a keyboarding. I don't posses any spectacular computer hacking skills or any specialized set of computer skills, however, I do posses an strong drive to learn and succeed as well as the determination and work ethic to handle any class here at Trinity. I believe that this computer skills class will not only extend my comprehension of computer software, Internet utilities, and other helpful computer functions but will ultimately serve me for the rest of my life.

Thanks for reading, Justin Campbell.
