My name is Scott. I have Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD). I am attending Bellingham Technical College in Bellingham, WA. I am working on earning an Associate's degree, which will allow me to become a machinist. I tried going to another college to become a mechanical engineer.

I learned a valuable lesson-make sure you know what you are getting into before it is too late to get out.
