My last week of school


  

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 am ending the semester on a high note and can't wait for my career to begin.

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.

1. My Hero I am grateful for my Dad. When he was seventeen years old, he wanted a better future for himself and his future family. So, not knowing any English or having any kind of education, he crossed the border from Mexico into the United States. He was able to get a worker’s visa and a job as a cook in a small restaurant. He would travel back and forth between the two countries to keep in contact with his family. When he was twenty-two years old, he fell in love with my mom and my oldest sister was born in Mexico. After my sister turned one my dad decided to bring my mother and sister to America and live there full time. They lived in Idaho for a year and then had my second sister. Another year went by and I was also born in Idaho. Six months after I was born my father was offered a work opportunity in Arizona. We moved to Arizona and my dad began his new job in welding. The owner of the company was a good man and even though my father did not speak or understand Engli...
