Hey there everyone, it's Paul back for the final Homeroom Announcements video of 2015. What an amazing year it's been. But before all that, I want to start off by wishing everyone a wonderful holiday season and safe travels if you're doing any. I myself am going to be traveling for a bit, visiting friends and family for Christmas. Unfortunately I won't have any of my equipment with me while I'm traveling, so this will also be my last video for the year. But I'll be back in exactly two weeks on January 1st with another Homeroom Announcements video to wish you all of you a Happy New Year, and tell you about the amazing things I have planned for the channel in 2016.

2015 was a special year for me. I'll give you a quick run down as I walk around Diamond City here in Fallout 4, which they actually decorate for the holidays in the game on December 25th. Pretty cool little Easter Egg actually.

Anyway, I reserved the channel name for the Skooled Zone in late September 2014. But I didn't actually launch the channel until late June of 2015. So the end of this month marks 6 months that the channel has been live. In that time, I've gained a bunch of subscribers, gotten a lot of views, but more importantly, I've met some really cool people on YouTube including some great channels that I've collaborated with, friendly viewers with funny or smart comments, and not a single troll so far has crawled out from under the bridge. I consider myself lucky so far and quite thankful given how mean people can be sometimes in social media. In fact, I've put up almost 120 videos in that six months and only gotten 5 total dislikes as of the recording of this video. So thanks to all my supporters for making this a welcoming experience. I am also very thankful for the friendly and knowledgeable people at the YouTube Space LA. And to some of the cool channels that I'm going to be collaborating with in 2016. More on that later, but I feel very blessed.

It takes time on YouTube before you start figuring out things you can do better and ways you can improve. I've taken all my cumulative knowledge from 2015 and I know exactly how to take the Skooled Zone to the next level in the new year. But I'm never above feedback. So you guys can always feel free to leave me comments or email me through the Skooled Zone website and make suggestions. I'm a very friendly person, I don't bite, and I usually take the time to get back to each and every one of you with a reply.

In the meantime, I just want to wish all of you a very Merry Christmas and happy holidays. 'Tis the season to relax, recharge, and make those New Year's Resolutions. Also, have a safe and happy New Year's Eve. And on that note, farewell for now and I'll see you back on January 1st. God bless.
