My first day at iD Tech was very interesting, I got to meet new people that were also interested in computer science, like me. It was awesome to be surrounded by them. At first, in class I felt intimidated because I was the only girl in the classroom. I come from a school where I am not one girl, but one of many, so that made me feel uncomfortable. But I was aware of this. I tried to get comfortable with this once I got close to the computer. I was able to get into my zone and use power points to help me code on Unity.

When I first saw Unity, I thought  it was going to be a very difficult programing program that  I was going to be unable to code, but soon I realized that I was not alone and there were other students and a mentor to help me. 
Going to ID Tech Camp was an eye opening experience. I learned so much about coding in Javascript and I learned what it means to be independent. In the future, I still plan to continue to do computer science but this also shows me that I should experience different fields in computer science. This also makes me want to go to college so I can do things on my own. Being in this setting showed me that I may be the one to stand out in the class, and that is not awful, it is unique. I also learned that I need to ask for help even if I feel uncomfortable. This also made me want to work harder in high school so I can get good grades that will take me to a good college.

Thank you for giving me this awesome opportunity to learn how to code apps for Android and Apple devices. This will allow me to explore different areas in computer science. It is also a step forward towards my career goal of creating apps. Learning these skills early is very helpful because I will get some experience.
