Being a part of Empowered is definitely something that every minority teenage girl should take advantage of, not only is it a great experience, but it’s also an experience that will help you expand your academic and personal skills. Within a week it’ll push you to do better each and everyday, instead of staying in the same predicament.

One of the most helpful opportunities Empowered has to offer, as far as academically, is learning how to code in order to create a website. Given that most schools don’t have coding classes. Although coding is a challenging subject to learn it is also a really useful thing to have knowledge of.

Being that there are individuals here to talk to us about how important it is to stay focus on education and that there is no such thing as learning “too much”, means a lot because those are the type of people that everyone should have in their life.

Every since I’ve had the opportunity to learn and understand coding, I’ve realized that if I take step by step challenge then I could accomplish anything. My mind set went from “I don’t know if I can do this” to “Let’s do this even if it may seem impossible.

Each and everyday I appreciate Empowered giving me a chance to discover traits inside myself that I didn’t know was there.

Stressful week!

Being that my partner and I had to switch our theme THREE different times, was what made the cup overflow.  I realized that it takes patience and determination when it comes to creating a website for someone who doesn’t have a clear vision on what their desires are.

BUT overall my week ended well, being that I had an opportunity to meet the lieutenant governor and walk on the Big Four Bridge, with a few co-workers.
