<p>[QUOTE=&quot;NicholasMaximus, post: 4550668, member: 111966&quot;]I turned 27 this past March and I have been collecting coins since April. I have about 40 coins that I bought already identified, and I have 34 uncleaned coins that I am currently working on (steady but slow progress is being made). I spent 6 years as a Paralegal in the Army Reserves. I graduated college with 3 majors (honors history, political science &amp; interdisciplinary honors) and a minor in sociology after 3 years of study (while in the military). I got an award for excellence in the study of history upon graduating (my thesis was based on the real causes of the War of 1812, it wasnt impressed sailors like many think). </p><p><br /></p><p>After I school I worked as a Senior Legal Specialist in finance for about a year and then worked for 8 months as a project manager with a legal based non profit organization. I recently became a teacher in NYC public schools (Brooklyn born &amp; raised but now living in Astoria, Queens) and although I am a generalist, I specialize in history. My job might be in jeopardy because of budget issues after covid, so I might find myself back in a boring office setting in the near future.</p><p><br /></p><p>In my spare time I like to play with my 14 year old Yorkie (Sparky), go running or play sports (baseball, football, basketball, tennis, &amp; handball if anyone knows what that is). My gf and I also love nature and often go to Central Park since we live so close. We like to watch a lot of movies (new ones &amp; classics we havent seen yet) and play board games. We also enjoy our fair share of Whiskey, Tequila &amp; Wine. </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1126572[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>I wanted to share some of my historical based decorations with you. In my living room I have a pyramid made of mixtiles to the left of my tv &amp; a chronological rectangle of American History images to the right. </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1126549[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1126548[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>Then on another wall I have paintings of two NYC landmarks and a timeline of the city above (starting with George Washington entering the city in 1783). </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1126552[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>My fridge is full of quotes from my favorite figures (the Hamilton quote was never actually attributed to him and it annoys me, but I am fond of the man and the quote so i went with it anyway). </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1126555[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>My desk has a Julius Caesar pencil holder &amp; Frederik de Wit mouse pad. Then I have my Anubis wine glass. I swore when I bought it that I would only drink wine like a pharoah from that point on, and I think I have used it twice in the last 6 months. </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1126550[/ATTACH] </p><p>[ATTACH=full]1126554[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>I also have a picture of the empire state building halfway finished and a copy of Guernica in my kitchen, but i think I have already shared way too much. Sorry for the extremely long post, i get excited sharing these and enjoy reading about all of the other CT members.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
