My name is Ties-jan Klumper. I am 19 years old and my nationality is dutch. I live with my parents, brother and sister in a small town named Esch. It takes me a total of 45 minutes to go to school, 15 minute bike ride, 15 minute train ride and a 15 minute walk/bus ride. I play field hockey 3 times a week and sometimes like to play games (the amount of playtime has been going down more and more recently). I like doing ICT because I have had a fascination with digital things such as websites, AI and software for a long time. I chose Media because I like the visual part of ICT.
I will tell more about myself in detail here.
I turned 19 very recently (start of June). So I am quite young for where I am at this point in my study (compared to other students atleast). I am however half a year behind because I chose the wrong profile the first time and I had to restart because of that. I chose Media & Design because I really like the visual side of ICT. That is because when I was little I was really fascinated with looking at (for example) movies and games and being amazed at how it was possible to create those things. That is why I wanted to do Media. But I am not continuing in the direction of Media and I am diving deeper into AI.
In my freetime I play field hockey 3 times a week, I play games from time to time and I hang out with my friends often. So my weekends are usually very busy (unless I have stuff to do for school). I also work 10 hours in a week besides all of that. I work in a restaurant in my town. So it is very close by which is really nice.
I still live with my parents together with my brother and sister. I also have a girlfriend that also does ICT Media & Design at Fontys. I have known her for more then a year now and we have been together for 7+ months.
In my opinion everything is going well and I am happy with how things are going. I think that I am at quite a high point in my life if i compare it with previous years. I am exactyl where I want to be and that makes me happy.
