Since then, I have been expanding my knowledge on computers, both by myself and at school. In Adlai E. Stevenson High School, I have been taken classes related to computer engineering such as AP Computer Science and Digital Electronics. These classes not only have allowed me to learn new concepts, but to develop team working skills and participate in different types of competitions; one of them was the IDEA which was a 3D CAD modeling competition. After I had succeeded in the regional phase, I qualified for the State competition.. In my free time, I often work on technology projects I find online. I love learning and exploring new concepts in the field of
