Operation Computer Build by Gavin Graves

Hello, my name is Gavin Graves, I am 15 years old, and I am excited to begin my sophomore year at Foothill Technology High School in Ventura, Ca.

My goal is to custom build a computer for my schoolwork and for fun online gaming.  I have always liked building and putting things together such as Legos and other mechanical and robotic building kits.  I am really excited about this project.  I believe that custom building a computer will be an investment in my education and beneficial for me to get hands-on knowledge of all computer components and functionalities and I will have a quality computer that will meet my unique personal specifications.

I had a part-time job earlier this year working weekends in a warehouse and I have been collecting aluminum cans.  I was hoping to have earned enough money by the time the school year started, which is today August 18, 2020, however, due to COVID-19, I have not worked since March 2020 and collecting aluminum cans is going slowly and has not amounted to anything close to what I have hoped for.

The estimated cost for this computer project is $1800 and I currently have $300 saved. I am seeking donations to help with the remaining $1500 to assist with this project. 

I understand that COVID-19 has affected many people negatively and I appreciate any donation amount.

I would love for everyone to see my progress when I am able to buy everything and start the project.
You can email me at g.grav3s at gmail dot com and get on my mailing list if you would like to get updates on my project progress.

About me:
I am currently on honor roll and have been on honor roll since elementary school.  Last year as a freshman, my grades were straight A's all year and I have perfect attendance since Kindergarten. I love playing basketball and have been playing youth sports since I was 3 years old.  This summer a surfboard was given to me from a family friend and I was able to teach myself to surf, which has been a lot of fun. I still have a long way to go.

As a sophomore this year, I am hoping to take advantage of the "Dual Enrollment" program where I can go to Ventura College while I am going to high school.  I currently want to go to college and study Architecture.

Thank you so much for taking the time to review.
