CTE Guest Speaker 2

       We had a speaker come in to talk about the Hour of Code, and was surprisingly, the founder of it who was Hadi Partovi. He talked about his background, and where he grew up, and how he didn't learn much about computer science, where it wasn't offered where he was from, which was Iran. He mentioned he taught himself how to code, and immigrated to the United States and started to work as an software engineer. As he was working his way up to a higher position, he was successfully accepted to Harvard University and graduated with Masters degree. His passion grew for computer science and developed "Code.org". Hadi's success grew with the guidance from his family and mentors, and influenced him to aim higher and never settle for less.

Missed out on College Fair!

        Sadly, I missed out on the College Fair that occurred for 2017 Fall Semester because I wasn't feeling very well that day and had to go to the hospital. Over the day, I heard and how it went from my classmates. For instance, a peer told me that it went very successful because every college there was pleased on the way our school students were, and how we were so eager to learn about the colleges.

Power Skills Interview Skills

In my opinion, "Choice C" sounds dumb because there shouldn't be any requests look over decisions, since that it unprofessional and not chosen in the work field. In the second meeting, it was more sophisticated and well considered, as the interviewee understood her qualities, abilities, and the energy she had for work. As talking for myself, the job applicant that I would want to be is the professional, communicative, responsible person who is ready to work and take on any task that is given to me.

Power Skills Networking

    Networking is also very important when it comes to expanding your viewpoints and change your perspective on things, for the better of yourself. You learn how to improve on your own work, from communicating with others, and showing your work to them. When you meet new people, you improve your communication skills, and networking skills, because you get comfortable with engaging with others while being professional and sophisticated while interacting in a conversation with whom ever. At the moment, I am working on networking with others to show my websites that I have been working during my high school years. I hope, my networking skills improve in college, and be more open to talking to others, and step out my comfort zone for the benefit of myself.  Engaging with the right people can you get you further in your path, with dedication, motivation, and I would say just a friendly conversation while being energetic about work.
