TCAT Newbern Experience

He finished near the top of his class. “His quick success had Wes thinking differently about his life”.” He proudly displayed his new diploma at home,

With their help I left John Edgar Howard elementary school with a strong head on my shoulders, and the devotion to strive for more. I had to move to a different elementary school because John Edgar Howard Elementary ended up being closed, because of the rough neighborhood. I then, attended Bradbury Heights; a school that I didn’t know existed. I was never exposed to many different neighborhoods, or opportunities. I managed to graduate and proceed to middle school where I continued my athletic career of basketball, and outstanding academic profile.

Through years of following in my dad's shadows, and following directly in his footsteps, he led me right into the welding family. My dad welded his whole life and now works at a small shop making 32 dollars and hour, which inspired me to become a welder and follow my dreams of supporting a family and living a healthy life without worrying about payments. As I became older I began to realize the decision I had to make going into my junior year. While making a big decision in my life it was pretty easy considering the trips our school took to the CTC. Mr. Kearns talked to me for a little while by myself and he inspired me on the amount of money and the amount of jobs that are available in the welding field.

I was lost. Friends were not at my disposal. Time was in abundance. Thoughts was all i had. Freshman through Christmas break of my sophomore year I attended Berks Catholic High School, but before that I graduated from a feeder school named Scared Heart School.

and I wanted to be thought of as better. Not knowing anyone at school, I walked through the narrow halls, staring at all these unfamiliar faces that all seemed to know each other. I felt alone at this point but thought being on the

I have watched many videos on how a computer works and how to build one and just like William this experience helped me get a grasp on how current things work. “Within a few meters, I entered the scrapyard and stopped. Behold! Now that I had an actual purpose and a plan, I realized how much bounty lay before me. There were so many things: old water pumps, tractor rims half the size of my body, filters, hoses, pipes, and plows”(Kamkwamba, 176).

Hope’s class was. The hallway felt never-ending, seeing all the unfamiliar faces made me nervous, but excited at the same time. It was an unusual feeling, but I made it to the class, took my seat, and waited patiently for the teacher to begin. My first new friend was named Cameo, she came up to me and introduced herself, she appeared eager, but I could tell she was just as nervous as I was. I was reluctant to speak to a lot of people due to my speech impediment.

Consequently, newer technologies and their implementation in people’s lives allow for such an immediate response they give to the user of the technology. In “Project Classroom Makeover,” Davidson discusses how she had her class at Duke try to come up with a new inventive way of using the new technology of the time, an iPod. Davidson discussed this when she stated, “we would be giving out free iPods to every member of the entering first-year class, there were no conditions. We simply asked students to dream up learning applications […] and we invited them to pitch their ideas to the faculty” (49). Giving these students free range on the application of the devices for an educational purpose, it provided them an environment where they can use their individual strengths to solve a problem at hand.

Few women have entered the field of technology and computer fundamentals. Some of these reasons includes lack of interest in the field of technology and the stereotypes that exist about people working with technology. We can overcome these issues and pursue a career in the field of technology. They would also help educate others to overcome these stereotypes and issues. With the information from this video, it would help me and others move towards a productive career future for them in the real world of employment and

At the end of that first week, I left class liberating a breath I didn’t realize I was holding in. Suddenly, I was no longer anxious. My classmates had taught me what true courage was in their reason for being at the community college. Despite the death of a husband, despite raising

“The journey doesn’t start at the beginning, but it begins at the end.” The last year I had at Lionville Middle School was only the start of my long career and I was properly prepared by all the teachers and staff that helped me on my journey. When I first arrived at Lionville Middle school, I was scared about the environment and it was the first time that I had to switch classes for every different subject. I had numerous friends from Lionville Elementary School that came to the Middle school with me and aided me in the tough transition to such a populous school. I did not transfer to this district

It is important that there are people entering the workforce with this knowledge. In the future, I would love to work in IT because I believe it is a growing industry, and it is something I find comes naturally to me. I built my own computer a while back, and I have a fairly good understanding of how they work. I had to learn

Unfortunately, my journey ended abruptly when I was diagnosed with a rare and incurable neurological disease that left me disabled. With great persistence, I transformed this curse into a blessing by utilizing the downtime during my long and arduous convalescence to realize my aptitude for technology. I’ve earned straight A’s in every course since reentering college and I’m on track to accomplish the same in my current classes. Prior to matriculation, I plan to

My interest in the Computer Science major at Carnegie Mellon was first piqued while I was in the Microsoft Student Partners Program, where I met a Technical Evangelist from Microsoft who graduated from the course. I had heard from him how the nation’s best graduates of Computer Science were often recruited from Carnegie Mellon. Naturally, this keen interest sparked off by my encounter with him did not just stop there as I am now sitting at my desk writing my CMU supplementary essays. As someone who has been trying to find myself within the tech sector in the future, Carnegie Mellon’s vast ties to the technology world only serve to underscore its appeal.

We sacrificed outings and even friends and family, countless times we wanted to give up, to surrender; but we did not do it. We rose from adversities, learn from them, and carried on. Because as Mario Benedetti said, the glory does not consist in never falling down, but in rising every time that is necessary. Just how we endure moments of distress, we also had moments of plenitude. We met people that in time we called classmates, to call them friends afterwards.
