Computer Programming

    Computer Science is the study of computers and their systems. Unlike other fields engineering fields computer scientists deal mostly with software and their systems. This includes the design aspect, development, and application of software or systems. Major areas of study within Computer Science include artificial intelligence, computer systems, and networks, security, database systems, numerical analysis, programming languages, software engineering. Knowing how to program is important to the study of computer science, it is not the only one element in the field. Computer scientists design and analyze algorithms to solve programs and study the performance of computer hardware and software. The problems that computer scientists encounter range from determining what problems can be solved with computers to designing applications that perform well on handheld devices.

    If I knew more about computer science I would like to impact how people connect with each other online. This is because during this pandemic people were forced to work or go to school online. The problem with this is that many people don't have steady access to the internet or have little knowledge of how to use it. I would like to change this and make it easier for more people to connect with each other and to have more people be able to do it.

    

What Does A CTE Dipolma Mean To Me

       There are three types of diplomas in NYC High Schools. They are a regents diploma, an advanced regents diploma, and a cte diploma. Each comes with its own set of different requirements. A regents diploma is for your basic classes as well as seven electives, An advanced regents diploma drops the elective requirement to three while increasing the number of LOTE credits needed to six. It also requires you to take a foreign language, regents. Cte diplomas and regents diploma both need seven electives. However, for the Cte diploma replaces your elective with a specialized cte class.

        Achieving a CTE diploma would mean a lot to me personally. It would show that I was able to maintain my position in the Web Design Academy for 3 years. While also keeping my grades at a high level. To me, it would also show my perseverance as I would have to work hard in this 3-year program. It would also show that I was able to meet the expectations that my teacher had set for us. Graduating with a CTE diploma would also help me a great deal in the future. With a CTE diploma, it would help me separate myself from the competition as I would have something that most other applicants won't have. it would also show my employers that I would be able to work strat working straight out of high school or college.

Junior Year during COVID-19

    Going into the 2020 school year I will be going into one of the most important years of my school life. It will be my junior year the year that colleges look the most at and stands out the most. So my expectations for this year were a little bit higher than they normally would be. Some of my expectations are the usual things maintain a 95 or above-average stay out trouble, stuff like that. I do have some new ones like trying to get above 1400 on the SAT and trying to make myself stand out as a student. One of my goals for this is to keep my head down and avoid drama. In my sophomore year, I was involved in a lot of it and it was shown in my grades and it really affected me negatively as a person so I hope to avoid it.
        Like many people in the world, this current pandemic threw a wrench in everyone's plans. I had some big things planned that ill have to put off for about a year. As far as school goes during COVID I do have one thing that I am concerned about  As we did remote learning last year I found that I want really learning anything last I was just submitting my assignments. For Junior year that could be a problem as this is normally the year when the stuff you learn can help you a great deal in the future so I don't want to miss out on that
