Jean-Patrick Preteau

My name is J-P. I'm 20 years old, and I am currently doing a course at Senior College Dun Laoghaire. Originaly I'm from Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada. I moved to Ireland about 3 years ago. I spend most of my time playing video games, debating, and reading. I love reading, I'v spent most of my waking time reading.

I want to get a degree in philosophy, and I'm going into computers because philosophy isn't exactly lucrative. My dream is to be a proffesional debater, and the byproduct of this is that I'm very defensive of the things I believe in.

In the future I hope to have a career in the field of computers. I'm currently doing a course titled 'Pc Maintenance' so as to work towards such a career. This course teachs many core skills in the use of computers, such as:
