[FONT=&]I am signed up for an internship class so I need to turn in a resume. This will be my first resume so it may look bad. Any suggestions will be appreciated, thanks.

Since it's an internship, it should be ok that you don't have enterprise or professional experience, but you can talk about the projects and things you've configured and are comfortable with. More formal communication " I'm the go to IT guy .." just doesn't say anything. State facts, not public perception.

I would definitely re-work that first paragraph. It doesn't feel very fluid and you use "I" way too many times. From my experience with applying for internships and co-ops the people hiring you want to see the "fire". They don't necessarily expect a ton of professional experience. But they want to see your passionate about IT. as Ismaeljrp suggested, highlight your projects. What have you done? where have you improved on the projects you were given and what have you done on your own time?
