Personal Narrative: My Advancement Of Technology

Through innovation in technology, the space exploration programs of the United States have achieved several benefits for today’s society. Many studies have shown that space programs have encouraged innovation of various

I am so glad to be at New Tech. Being here has changed my world. I love learning and being apart of all that New Tech means. There was a time that school was not as enjoyable and going to school each day was more of a chore than a positive experience. Since NTH@C has had such an impact on my life I am very motivated to be a part and give back to our campus. It is really important to be a part of something bigger than myself. When making decisions I always remain calm and think things through from beginning to end before making any decisions or sharing ideas. That is necessary while working with a group of people especially in an organizational setting. Listening to what others have to say is important to me. I am a good listener.

My ultimate goal for this year’s 10th grade project was to improve my technological literacy. The initial project was to learn how to create an iOS app in Xcode using Swift 4 as the programming language. I created a simplistic “homework app” designed to notify a student about missing and upcoming assignments as well as tests and quizzes. A simulator was created for the app in Xcode and ran it successfully on my computer. Additionally, I wanted the app to include other features i.e., adding classes, having personal reminders, and notifications. Creating additional features and push notifications created errors. One of the problems was not being able to correctly set up push notifications; when I created a code to allow the user to select the time they wanted to receive their notifications, the notification would not

I have been a prototype technician for almost nine years at my company. I work at a prototype facility that builds seatbelt and airbag parts for automotive companies. I had the opportunity to learn and be a part of the prototype build request while a select group of supervisors was developing this new system. The new build request asks the engineer for more specific instructions than the old system. However, each engineer was never really trained so they are filling out the work orders differently. The mangers implemented a new build request system about two years ago. In the beginning, I was asked to be on a project that helped design this new build system. The team was made up of inventory clerks, an engineer from seatbelts and airbags, a

The technology fast was not a difficult experience for me. I have experienced and experimented with living a day without technology before. Not taking too seriously during the previous times, I did put more focus into completely eliminating technology out of my life for the day. I ran into moments of unaware actions like paying for a drink with my debit card or using my scale in the morning to check my weight. The overall experience was interesting and lead me to explore some hobbies I had forgotten I enjoyed.

As an Agriculture Science major with minors in Animal Science and Agronomy, I have learned that my future could to a variety of career paths. From education to applied research Agriculture is an industry that is need of students with a passion and foundation to feed the world. That also means that we need a good solid foundation of core concepts that make us sustainable and effective in our chosen careers. Technical writing I have found has been overlooked and not applied in the way that it fully could be to make students better rounded and viable in a competitive job market. I would like to apply the lessons that I have learned over the last three months and apply these skills. We will be looking at three technical documents that are commonly used in the Agriculture science industry and those being, Pamphlets or programs, emails, and Informative documents that help educate producers. These documents are the most widely used and will be most commonly seen and dealt with by Agricultural Professionals.

Technology is improving because of space travel. Since new technology is needed to improve space travel, the tech used in space can be used on Earth. Clothes and vehicle interiors have become more fire resistant. This is because of the research done after the Apollo fire. NASA also partnered with a private company to develop new technology. NASA partnered with Archivas Inc. to create a high-tech software program that can hold large amounts of information. This will help companies to store much more information, which means they can help much more people and gain much more money.

I'm currently a tier 2 help desk technician at Old Dominion Freight Line. In this role, I spend most of my time working with other teams resolving issues that cannot be resolved during the first call. I also spend a lot of my time, directly and indirectly, mentoring our tier 1 techs to increase overall first call resolution. I've highly enjoyed my career at Old Dominion so far and it has taught me lessons that I will take well into my career.

I am passionate about computer science. Computer science is a field I can be creative and meaningful. I can create a program in x amount of time which can save people xn amount of time. The return on investment is great and the smiles are a plus.

Throughout the third quarter during the 2016-2017 school year, I have learned much in my tech 2 class. I have completed three projects where I learned new things and helped tech 1s. I learned how to design and print 3d models, fly airplanes, be patient when helping people, and not waste time. I plan to use the skills I have learned either in college or highschool. I also plan to use these skills in a field related to engineering or architecture.

Finally, I had completed my one year, two semesters, and 1,100 hours of the program and successfully received my certification in automotive technology. I learned a lot in a short amount of time, in many different parts of automobiles. I also made some great memories along with some amazing friends along my way. I achieved my certification and enjoyed the ride along the way. In other words, even when you think you cannot achieve anything, or too scared to go for it, fear of failing is natural and you should just go for it because you never know what you ca achieve until you try, you might even surprise yourself as I was in

During my years in middle school I learned how to work. I was used to working on the farm when we had it. I never went to

I could never imagined to stay away from tech for twenty-four hours in my life after I was being addicted to Facebook. I am really attached to my phone and laptop. I checked my phone early in the morning and before I went to bed everyday. I used my phone to shut my alarm and check my Facebook account in the mornings and set alarm and check my Facebook account at nights. My hand would grab and check my phone even though I had nothing to do with it. I felt like I would go crazy without my phone and laptop. I play music on my computer when my phone battery run off. I felt like music flow in my vein not my blood while I was listening to the music on my laptop.

In order to break out of the inner shell of what I called a boring life, I needed that one event or activity to change my life forever. Whether it was conducting with an instrument or participating in some sort of activity, I wanted it to have an impact or fuel some kind of passion that it will leave on my life. That came to me in the beginning of my high school career when playing tennis. Tennis changed my world and flipped it to a complete one eighty because it encouraged me to make new friends and work hard.

Take NASA as an example. NASA is a world known space program, and their technology expands the frontiers of knowledge and capabilities in aeronautics, science, and space. NASA develops the latest innovative technology and has the best scientists and engineers from around the world working for them.
