Welcome...
editHello I'm Prussia81278, I chose that username because of my Prussian heritage from my great grandparents. I'm a freshman at Georgia Southern University mayoring in Graphic Design and Minoring in German. I'm currently receiving a HOPE scholarship from the state of Georgia and going to receive the Hispanic Scholarship for the next semester for my tuition. I actually wanted to study Costume Design in Savannah College of Art and Design but could not afford to go to that school. That has not stopped me from costuming and entering a costume contest though, last July my group and I won Judges Award at the last costume contest in a small convention, we have planned to attend many more and try to win again.
I'm actually from Santiago Chile, but I have lived here three and half years. I planned to move to Germany after I’m done with college and hopefully stay there. My biggest interest right now is the study abroad program offered at my college, I’m hoping to study in Russia for next summer and then Germany on my junior year.
If someone were to ask me if I could change my mayor today to something else what would it be, i would probably say I would change to a History Mayor. I have always loved studying history, my mother was a history teacher and she taught me a lot of what she knows. Also I love just reading random moments in history thru Wikipedia and just learning something new about the past of the world. I actually got really into learning about history during my last year of High School when i made an art project about the Holocaust. I knew my family had come from Germany but i never knew the whole story and making that project gave me a whole new meaning onto my family. My great-grandfather ended up in Chile escaping from the war while the rest of his family dies in Auschwitz. Since then I have a very strong bond to my family and wished to visit Germany and the place where they lived.
Contributions to Wikipedia
editThe articles I have edited are Hetalia: Axis Powers, List of Hetalia: Axis Powers episodes, Bloody Sunday (1972), True Life and Barpeta Road. Right now I’m writing an article about a small anime convention called Seishun-Con for my English class. I chose to write about that topic because that was the convention my group won Judges Award in the Costume Contest, so it has a lot of meaning for me in that aspect. Also since it was a small convention I got to meet lots of people which I’m still friends with and actually now also do costumes with. I have attended over thirty conventions thru out my life and I have to say that was one of the best ones.
Relationship to technology
editI’m a Graphic Design mayor, so I spend most of my time in my computer just drawing for hours on my tablet. I’m always online on my deviantart page and my many other profiles I have in this online world.
Languages
editI’m fluent in English and Spanish, Spanish is the main language in Chile and I was in a Private British Catholic School in Chile were they taught us English since we are in Pre-k. I’m learning German right now and hope to be fluent soon. I’m hoping in the future to learn Russian, Norwegian and almost any language I’m allowed to learn. By English being my second language i usually have to translate whatever I’m learning to English and then Spanish and then forward again, which takes longer than anyone else. But even so i love learning new languages so it’s completely worth the trouble.
