CTE Expo


The CTE Expo is a yearly event that I've been part of in my three years of being in Web Design. This year was my last year doing and it has been the best one so far. I got the chance for the last time to talk to freshman students about the great opportunity in joining the Web Design Academy. At first, I was a little shy, but that's just me in every event when I have to explain individuals my work and the work of my other peers but then I started to loosen up and to my surprise, I got to talk to great female students that were interesting in joining. They asked me a lot of personal questions about my own experience in the web design academy and I felt like I connected with a lot of them.
As my last year doing this event I felt the need to contribute more of myself and recruit more girls to be interested in coding. Not many girls join this academy and only a few make pass the interview but hopefully with all my effort, next year web design academy would be full of more girls than my year. As well I got to speak to other males uninterested students about joining this academy. Thanks to my other peers they were able to help me get those shy and untalkative students to speak and open up about their interests and what they want to do in life.
I would miss doing this types of events once a graduate and being this my last year in the academy has helped me a lot with my communication skills, as well as many others and have the great experience to do and accomplish a lot of things.

Work-Field Trip Senior Year

The Dropbox trip was the last trip for the seniors in Web Design this year. When I heard we were going to the company Dropbox I was very happy since is something that I find myself using in my daily basics for Web Design.  Dropbox is a file hosting service operated by American company Dropbox, Inc., headquartered in San Francisco, California, that offers cloud storage, file synchronization, personal cloud, and client software. The company that we when to obviously was located in New York and it was a life-changing experience getting to know the people that work there. There were 4 guest speakers in the room and they were all telling us about their experience at Dropbox and how they got there. My favorite guest speaker was the girl whose name I don't remember from the UK because she was the one to most struggle to get to Dropbox since she wasn't born in the US or speaks English fluently. What I also liked about going to Dropbox is how they are settled and they type of vibe the

It involves establishing relationships with people who will often become your friends and community of colleagues as you go through your career.
