What are my weaknesses?

Too in the details, very detail oriented, can sometimes get in the way of deadlines.

Also, I used to think that skill was all that was necessary. I think everyone has had that period.

Tell me about yourself

I am a student at the University of Houston, studying computer science. I grew up in a poverty stricken family, and my parents had been out of a job for about 3 years before I entered University. Me entering university should've been a net negative for my family, but UH had offered me a very attractive financial package, which would've given me a net gain, so I attended there. During my time here, I have spent time learning a plethora of tools, programming languages, attempted to build a startup. I also work at the university as a part time web developer, helping out the school's assessment center with their website for administering online tests to students. Outside of work, I like to participate in hackathons, and read up on open source projects, as well as refining my own set of software tools. I'm looking for new challenges ahead of me, and an opportunity to be able to focus more on a smaller number of projects. My life at school for the past few years have been a constant juggling act, with forces pulling from both work, school, and my own desires to learn. I'd like to be able to narrow my focus more.
