Where do you see yourself at seventeen? Owning a business? Owning a car? Saving for college? Chances are you’ll eventually do these things, but maybe not when you’re seventeen... unless you’re someone like Jimmy Woodard! Jimmy Woodard is a high school student from Manchester, Vermont, U.S.A. In many ways, Jimmy is a normal teenager who spends a lot of time online every day. But in otherways, Jimmy has always been different from the kids around him. When Jimmy was very young, his parents realized he had a special gift. While other children were playing with toys, Jimmy would take his toys apart to find out how they worked. But Jimmy’s gift really became obvious when he started using computers. Jimmy was only six when he started using his parents’ computer.That’s not so unusual these days. However,in Jimmy’s case, if he had a problem with the computer, he figured out how to fix it by himself !When Jimmy was in fifth grade, his technology teacher gave him a computer to work on. Jimmy took the computer apart and put it back together again. Since then,Jimmy has been working with computers in his school, even helping teachers with their technology problems.When he was fourteen, Jimmy decided to open his own technology consulting company. Since that time, he’s brought in about 200 regular customers. One of them is former astronaut Gerald Carr. “It feels funny sometimes,” said Jimmy with a smile. “I can’t believe I’m helping an astronaut with his computer!”Jimmy has done more than just work on computers. Since he was eleven or twelve,Jimmy has been helping and working in his community. He’s managed the sound and lights for a local TV show and for theatrical performances. Jimmy has also worked as a DJ.“I’ve been a DJ at more than fifty dance events already,” he said. “It’s really fun.”Jimmy has saved a lot of money over the past three years. “I’ve just bought my own car,” he said happily. “I’ve used some of my money to buy more computers or equipment for my company. But I’m trying to save the rest of it for college.” As for his future,Jimmy explained, “I don’t know what I want to do yet. I know I want to do something with computers. But I’m interested in a lot of different things. I’d like to live in a big city someday. I can’t wait to see what happens next.”
