PB 1A: ~ Billboards ~

The genre I have chosen for this project builder is billboards due to the fact that many of us who drive almost anywhere we go we tend to see billboards.

Little About Myself

My names Jerry Garcia I am 18 years old and I love to eat, sleep, and play video games. I am the first one in my family to attend college, both my parents were born and raised in Veracruz, Mexico. OH! I should also mention that I'm Hispanic. I'm majoring in Mechanical Engineering. Yea I'm a die hard Eagles fan but my father named me after one of the greatest wide receivers to ever play Jerry Rice. I also grew up playing soccer I stopped after I popped my ankle out of its socket going for a 50/50 ball but I still love the sport. That is really all I have to say. Hey thanks for reading have a wonderful day :)
