STEM Major: Cyber Security

About Me

Hello, I am currently a ;sophomore at ITW David Speer Academy, a STEM focused school. I chose to come here because this school is highly focused on Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM), which are all within categories of my dream career. I hope to become an engineer or work with technology such as artificial intelligence AI, or computer programming.

I hope to be doing lots of hands on work in my not so distant future. I have discovered that I am currently not as interested in the S-T-or-M part of STEM. My heart now pushes towards engineering. I enjoy fixing things, and over the past few months me and my fam put lots of money and hard work into a project, which involved hands on building. We redesigned our basement built two rooms, and a lounge area. It was among one of the funnest experiences I have ever had, and it made me feel good about myself. Now I can see myself becoming an engineer and building anything my mind comes down to.

Current Career Interest

At the beginning of Sophomore year I was very amazed by computers and what they could do. I had hoped that it'll be something I can get good at and enjoy. However over the year I learned that computers, computer programming, ect. is not for me. It's too complicating for me, makes my eyes hurt and I quickly get headaches from watching the screen for long periods of time. Plus I realized something... It's all done indoors.

I am a very lively person who likes to interact with others. I enjoy fresh air and hands on activities.
