[Coding][Writing][Quests?]

Hello Skywind Development Team!

My name is Tim, and I'm an amateur programmer and writer. I have a decent amount of experience with the creation kit after messing around with it and working to create a quest/follower mod that is currently too early in development to release. It will be a mod for followers that act as apprentices that the Dragonborn can teach his or her learned spells to, train in various areas, and develop a relationship that, as it grows stronger, will reveal more about the follower and open up quests for their various back-stories. 

The Elder Scrolls has been a passion of mine and from the moment I saw Skywind, I thought it was an incredible project and I desperately wanted to contribute in some way. When it was first announced, however, I had no skills that I could add to the project and so I didn't submit an application.

Over the last couple of years, I've developed some ability in programming through a mixture of classes and self-teaching, so I figured that now after having spent a decent amount of time with the Creation Kit, I'd submit an application and see where you can use me.

Currently, I'm a Coordinator with a U.S.-based educational group known as Mouse Squad, which focuses primarily in programming and technology. My job is to teach basic programming, circuitry, and robotics to middle school students at three different schools. I'll be honest and say that I just graduated High School a few weeks ago, and I won't be attending college until the 14th of August. There, I will begin work towards a Computer Science degree.

I've worked with C, C++, some JavaScript, a lot of Python, and obviously, a decent amount of Papyrus through the Creation Kit.

I also take up a small degree of writing as a hobby and though I consider myself decent at the trade, I rarely finish any of the stories that I begin. I am, however, well-verse in the English language and its grammar and as such, can easily create convincing and professional text for the game. Some examples of my writing are attached as links to the application PDF.

I will be up front and say that my skills are limited, and I'm applying purely out of passion for the project and a need to both contribute to it and obtain a degree of experience from it. I'm not looking to take on any of the major jobs if you don't see me as fit for any of them, but I'd love it if you could give me some smaller task somewhere that will allow me to at the very least add to the project in my own humble way.

If you don't have anywhere that you can place me, then I understand completely as I am likely not the most desirable of applicants. I just know that you guys need help, and that I might have something to offer.
