Week 5

Last week we began Swift, and Dr. Franklin came in as a speaker along with a former participant in Empowered, Akwelle. Everything Dr. Franklin did was pretty impressive I’d never see myself going through another 12 years of school willingly. You could tell that she was dedicated to being an OB/GYN. Something that stuck with me from what she said was that sometimes you have to battle with uncertainty and that time is something we have 0 control over.

This week I continued Swift playgrounds. At first I enjoyed it, but as it got harder and harder I started to despise it and realize how much I really dislike video games. I tended to get irritated with characters because when I didn’t progress they made these rude movements, so I’d switch them out. At times I’d be stuck for half an hour before passing the level, and this week I finally started to ask for and need help.
