I am alive today at 66 years old due to the empathy, patience, and protection of my beloved hometown: LaGrange, Georgia. I should have been dead or totally lost in 1970s and 1980s. I am deeply indebted to my country, the United States of North America, for granting me the fundamental rights that are given to each citizen namely the Bill of Rights and the rest of the Constitution of United States of North America. I know I complain a l lot about various governments mistreating me, but those entities have been quite tolerant of me despite all my shenanigans.
After almost decade and a half of many online applications, I finally was granted and honored to have three live interviews for federal jobs at my second most favorite federal entity, name redacted, in the year of 2018 and 2019. Previously, I was elated when I got as far as a telephone interview in either 2010 or 2011 and I was happy, happy, happy until I received the rejection email. I also took online and in person tests for the name redacted entity in interval 2015 to 2017.
Multiple other paragraphs redacted.

My whole legal name is James Pate Williams, Jr. I was born in LaGrange, Georgia approximately 70 years ago. I barely graduated from LaGrange High School with low marks in June 1971. Later in June 1979, I graduated from LaGrange College with a Bachelor of Arts in Chemistry with a little over a 3 out 4 Grade Point Average (GPA). In the Spring Quarter of 1978, I taught myself how to program a Texas Instruments desktop programmable calculator and in the Summer Quarter of 1978 I taught myself Dayton BASIC (Beginner's All-purpose Symbolic Instruction Code) on LaGrange College's Data General Eclipse minicomputer. I took courses in BASIC in the Fall Quarter of 1978 and FORTRAN IV (Formula Translator IV) in the Winter Quarter of 1979. Professor Kenneth Cooper, a genius poly-scientist taught me a course in the Intel 8085 microprocessor architecture and assembly and machine language. We would hand assemble our programs and insert the resulting machine code into our crude wooden box computer which was designed and built by Professor Cooper. From 1990 to 1994 I earned a Bachelor of Science in Computer Science from LaGrange College. I had a 4 out of 4 GPA in the period 1990 to 1994. I took courses in C, COBOL, and Pascal during my BS work. After graduating from LaGrange College a second time in May 1994, I taught myself C++. In December 1995, I started using the Internet and taught myself client-server programming. I created a website in 1997 which had C and C# implementations of algorithms from the "Handbook of Applied Cryptography" by Alfred J. Menezes, et. al., and some other cryptography and number theory textbooks and treatises.
