Mid-semester


    This week I completed my first internship. After spring break I will start my second internship. The internships have gotten me excited about starting my career. During spring break I will be applying to different jobs in my field. I am going to focus most of my efforts on a cyber security, data analyst, and Developer roles. These jobs align with my degree and I feel will be a good fit for me.
    The most challenging part of this week was keeping up with all my due dates. I had two A secession classes. All my work was due Monday March 1st. I also had new difficult work projects that made my head spin. On top of that I had to water my relationships. Overall, I am happy to put this week behind me and cant wait to start new adventures after spring break.

Persistence in STEM

Woman Daring Greatly      Daring Greatly has inspired a new way of thinking for me. Before I was really afraid to be vulnerable, especially as a woman of color in technology. I was vulnerable as a chance to fail and look like a dummy. After reading the book I see vulnerability in a new light. Vulnerability is an emotional risk that takes courage not shame. Out of being vulnerable one can find innovations, creativity, and change. There's nothing stronger than daring greatly to fail. I now want to inspire others to take risks and persist in a career in STEM despite stereotypes. The only way to stay down is to not try.

My College Experience

First Experience Working on group programing projects was my number one college experience that translates into my employers desired experience. Working on these group projects demonstrates teamwork skills, technical skills, and  time management skills. These are skills highly desired in the tech industry and I am proud of my contribution in the group work. Second Experience In college I had personal projects I created from what I learned in college. I have created several websites using skills such as using HTTP, CSS, Adobe Acrobat DC, Adobe Illustrator, Adobe InDesign, and Adobe Photoshop.

Sometimes Future employers like to see that students were part of social groups outside of...

My last week of school

Image
   This is the last week of my entire college career! The feeling is overwhelming. I am so happy to be done with my classes, but at the same time sad that I didn't take advantage of many of the opportunities the school provides. What went well this week is that my supervisor at my internship said there is a 99% chance that I will be offered a position at the company. The most challenging part this week was coding my company webpage. I got stuck multiple times and became stressed about the deadline. I look forward to exploring new job opportunities after I graduate.     This week not too much has happened to change my feelings positively or negatively about STEM career plans. Since I was told there is a one percent chance I may not be offered a position, I am looking at alternative options. The assigned videos are amazing for my mental health and have helped me cope in a lot of ways. One of those ways is simply understanding myself and how I chose to react. Overall I ...
