About Me
I am a student currently living in Texas and I will graduate from Royse City High School in 2023. While in school I took a part in STEM, and focused in CTE classes like IT and Science classes like Earth Space Science. These classes were my first formal introduction to astronomy and computer science. I really enjoy being part of science programs and initiatives that promote creativity and independence. After high school, I would like to attend college and pursue astronomy and hopefully after that get a job at an observatory.
Education is…
Education is the building block of knowledge and power. With education you have a voice, you have an opportunity to become better. It gives you a path to success, education mixed with opportunity, determination, and hard work leads to success. The role of education in a person's life is crucial. For a person, education means the entire world, it provides many new possibilities of exploring a new topic or skill. The right and meaningful education provides a person with being aware about social issues affecting certain communities and helping a person become sympathetic and understanding of a person’s problems and hardships. Like before, education is power, the more knowledge a person has the harder it is for that person to be sustained in an oppressive system. Being educated opens so many doors for a person that might otherwise not be opened. My education has prepared me by allowing me to be able to better communicate for what I want and has helped me to communicate with others. In school I have been taught many basic skills that will help me be successful in life after I graduate high school. Being in science classes in school has put me in situations where I have to think outside of the box and think critically for solutions. This has induced more creativity and I think this has prepared me for future jobs and career.
