About me
[edit]When I first joined Wikipedia, I wanted to keep my identity private. However, due to assumptions and accusations from the community, I feel it’s necessary to share a bit about myself.
First off, y’all can call me CycoMa.(You can pronounce my username however you like.) The origin of my username is honestly a mystery even to me, but I made it when I was a child.
I’m currently a university student expecting to earn my bachelor’s degree in 2025 and I guess you can say I am kind of a nerdy frat boy lol.
I’ve been contributing to Wikimedia projects since 2018 while I was in high school. I was initially editing as an IP editor, then later creating my account in 2020.(I was 18 years old and recently graduated high school when I created this account.) Before I joined the project I guess you can say I was like most Zoomers. I had an interesting family history thought.
My mother is an accountant and my father was a former journalist and soldier. My mother came from a low income family and studied accounting. My father on the other hand came from a high earning family, primarily due to his mother being a head nurse after she graduated from Washington University in Saint Louis.
I was raised Catholic, though I later identified as agnostic due to some disagreements with many doctrines. I join the Boy Scouts of America, I eventually left the Boy Scouts due to bullying. I later joined the 4-H.
I attended a high school mainly comprised of minority students and I enrolled in a vocational school.(The classes at this vocational school were mostly computer and engineering related) Around this time, I briefly converted to Buddhism.
After graduating from high school, I enrolled at a community college in mid-Missouri. During this period, I reconnected with Christianity, though not as a Catholic, I nonetheless still identified culturally with Catholicism.
However, the COVID-19 pandemic forced me to be an online student.
This gave me extra free time, but it also brought feelings of loneliness.
This loneliness alongside access to academic resources, motivated me to take Wikimedia more seriously and made me more active. I then eventually became one of the most active users on the English Wikipedia.
After earning my associate degree, I took a gap year.(It was more of a gap semester actually) I later transferred to the University of Missouri and simultaneously enrolled in a liberal arts college. I still have no fucking clone how I made the Dean’s List.
