About Me
My name is Sam Stoddard and I'm currently a resident of Saint Louis Missouri. I go to Lindbergh High School and I take college classes online. During the summer I take classes at Truman State University in Kirksville. I'm fluent in English, French, and Bulgarian (as well as Python, Java, Javascript, C++, and HTML). I love to travel and learn new things, observing other cultures is definitely a passion of mine. I enjoy reading, be it fiction, non-fiction or an Ubuntu Newsletter/Guide.
