It was nice to learn a few things before the semester end this made me understand my grades bit more.

It was interesting seeing about the different ways I can learn on how to be a good student and various pathways you can take.

This is the end of the semester, and it feels like a lot has happened for all of this semester hopefully I was able to achieve everything I want to complete. This will hopefully won't be the only thing i'll accomplish.

I learned a lot of the STEM Collegian Center about the big impact this can have students and that it looks really fun to join. There is a lot one can learn and so many someone can do. Also, so many opportunities there is meet with everyone and a lot of fun. I also liked the panelist as she gave a lot of information, and this was one of my favorite sessions. This also inspired me join as well.

Intro to Programming, Using Java
This was an interesting session where I get to learn more about coding. I learned a lot about it and everything that goes into coding with java. I want to learn more about so than I could learn how to code afterwards as well how to code by myself.

From Community College to NASA: Explore Beyond Boundaries
I also liked this session as it was really fun to listen to and ask some question. Where I got to experience what is there after community college. This was reassuring that I am not alone and that there are people who are like me and that they want us to succeed and listening to the panelists story really gave an inspiration that I can become like them.

AI Security
I learned a lot about the use of AI and how it's going to be used in security. How even though AI is starting to be used, it's not going to leave everyone with no job. The use AI is going to create place where AI might be able to breach and hack. Although there is going to be people to that need to know how to use it to benefit to keep things more secure.

Engineering for Fire Safety
A good luck about different careers in engineering about fire safety and how these engineers are helping firefighters to fight fires. I liked the presentation that gave us information what they do in UMD as I think you can major. This does gives me another choice for engineer if I want to change or keep following the same path.
