Pre-Experience Journal Entry
I was born to be an engineer. I grew up playing math games, building lego sets, and taking apart electronics. My Senior Capstone Experience (SCE) will definitely be in the area of engineering. More specifically, I would love to do either computer science or electrical engineering, as these are the areas I want to major in when I go to college.
I came to GSMST because I have always had an interest in engineering, and GSMST has only made that interest stronger. My courses have definitely played a big role. In 9th and 10th grade I took programming classes and really enjoyed them. They helped me to learn the basics of programming, and after that, I took it upon myself to learn even more programming knowledge and skills. Therefore, my classes helped me realize my love for programming, and the infinite possibilities I could achieve through it. My Junior Fellowship Experience (JFE) also helped me realize I …show more content…
I live a really fast paced life and go from one thing to another to another, and I never really find myself with much time to sit down and reflect on the actions I have taken. Sometimes, I just reason out that instead of wasting time thinking about something that already happened, I can go be productive and worry about what is happening right now. However, this isn’t necessarily the best way to look at things. A lot of times, I find myself making the same mistakes over and over again, like working on DIY projects instead of studying for a test or over-committing myself. Maybe, if I sat down and thought about the causes of my problems, I could recognize how to prevent those problems from happening. During my SCE, I will make sure to reflect on the actions I take that lead to positives and the actions I take that lead to negatives. By the end, I want to be a lot better at not only realizing my mistakes, but actually taking action to prevent myself from making them
