    Right before entering into my freshman year of high school, my parents trusted me enough to buy me my own Nokia phone. I also learned this year that 100 text messages per month went by quickly.

  • First Personal Laptop

    During my childhood, my family had a desktop computer. While completing my junior year of high school, it stopped working and was never replaced. For my high school graduation present, my parents bought me a DELL laptop for college. It was my first personal computer.

    Jesse's Discovery of GoogleDOCs
    At this time, I was working as a personal tutor and homeschool teacher. I needed a way to work on my lesson plans while on the go. Discovering GoogleDOCs made my life easier because I could access all of my plans, activities, and other documents wherever I was from my iPad or iPhone.
