Growing up I will always think of what I wanted to be. I would always ask my mom and dad questions about their career choices. My parents told me the key to choosing a career was to think about what I loved to do. I started thinking about my interests and passions. When I enrolled at Highland Tech, I didn't know what to expect. I chose the Computer Engineering Pathway and never looked back. During my freshman year, I successfully received my Microsoft Certification. These classes have helped me gain knowledge to fulfill a career in the technological field. My teachers gave me the guidance and encouragement to pursue may passion and dreams.
When I graduate high school, I will continue my education at North Carolina A &T University. I will pursue a bachelor's degree in Computer Engineering. A new chapter that will prepare me for new challenges and opportunities to grow as an individual. I will always remember the guidance of my family, friends, teachers, and community.

While I thoroughly enjoyed the memories I made while attending school within this district, I do not believe they are run as well or as efficiently as they could be. The staff were over worked, underpaid/funded, and often clueless. While the sports and arts programs were rather well-off, again many improvements were needed. I met some of the most driven and interesting people while attending school in this district which is the only reason I'd rank my experience as highly as I do.
I love working in the GCS school system! I will be starting my fifth year teaching in a STEAM magnet school. I love the support from the county as well as working with an amazing staff, student, and parent involvement population!
