After about 3 months I found New Citizens Incorporated ( NCI ) and spent the mosttime there. I helped a lot of new residents there, like Ro helped me. Finally I gaot graduated as official NCI Helper and after some more months I became NCI Officer and was allowed to teach my first Q&A class. | |||
From there on I tought more and more classes, met a lot of new people, made a lot of SL friends and got more and more involved into NCI. | |||
Now I am a NCI teacher, responsible for the AdNode System and Business Forum. Additionally I signed for SecondLife Mentors to help more people right at the beginning, so they won`t be that lost as I was before.

At the moment I am working on my own items and hope I can stay for a long, long, long time in SL, because it makes me just happy to be here. | |||

About a fr43k
I was born on March 9th 2007 and hit the ground of Orientation Island. Well, I spent 2 days there, before I found the teleport feature but then I spent hours and hours in SL, exploring, and collecting freebies as there was no tomorrow! Although I was a bit disappointed, because for some odd reason I did not meet a single person for days, but I decided to give SL a chance. Also it was difficult to get into SL because everything was in english, even my client. A lot of new words I had to learn, but with the time I learned where was what and edited my profile and appearance. Finally, after a whole week I met a girl and two guys, who had a discussion about money.
