A little tale about me.My name is Austin Fitzpatrick, I am a senior at Gladwin High School, destined to graduate with the class of 2017. I was born in the great year of 1999, back in my home state of Michigan. There my mother gave birth to a cute little boy. Little did she know, I was born at the perfect place and time to be swept up in the technological revolution that Information Sciences brought to my generation.

“It is being here now that’s important. There’s no past and there’s no future. Time is a very misleading thing. All there is ever, is the now. We can gain experience from the past, but we can’t relive it; and we can hope for the future, but we don’t know if there is one.”
― George Harrison, Lead Guitarist for the Beatles
This quote is very inspirational as it delivers several messages I find key to remember while exploring life. First, it reminds me to reflect onto the past, but don’t constantly live in your mistakes. This is important because many times I find I can be caught up in my mistakes that I forget to not make them again and live with the"clean slate" that my life is currently present in. Second, it reminds me to live in the moment, seize it, “carpe diem” as the phrase goes. The second portion of the quote reminds me to always plan and look for the future, but don’t forget to live for today.
