As a Freshman at Jones College Prep, one of the top three most prestigious high schools in the state; I was part of the Career and Technical Education Program. This allowed me the opportunity to choose between the Engineering and Pre- Law programs provided at my school. My interest in math and science pushed me to pursue a path in Engineering. Knowing that I will be able to positively impact someone’s life through this career made it all the more compelling.
The “Introduction to Engineering” class on my first day of high school was intimidating. I knew I had to put my best foot forward for this challenging course. My teacher for my first year of Engineering, Mr. Trott, said to the class, “Look around. Count how many women you see in the room.”
