Why I Joined STAT

I have always been interested in programming, and in technology in general. STAT offers you hands on experience with dealing with technology, and it allows to see things in different ways and opens you mind to all the things that can be achieved using technology. In STAT you give yourself attainable goals that you want to achieve, which can be anything you want, which gives you an almost infinite possibilities to choose from. By doing so you also learn how to properly manage your time and work independently which is a very important life skill for the future. In STAT you can also help teachers and students in the school who are having difficulties using technology, which gives you great satisfaction. By helping teachers it gives you first hand experience and practice troubleshooting, which is a very useful skill to have.

My personal goal in STAT this year is to learn how to program using Python. I think learn how to use Python is a good goal to set in this term due to the fact that Python is a very useful computer language to learn now because it can be used for AI programming which is a very important skill, and programmer that know Python are in high demand know and will also be in the future. Python is also a very good language to learn for beginners. Also python can be used for wed design.

I also want to become better at working alone, because working alone it allows me to give me to know my limits and my weak points in certain things, and one of the important things that is needed to be done to get better is to find where you need improvement, and accept that you are bad at it. Then you can focus on the places that need improving. I also have a bad habit of procrastination, and working by my self should help with my time management ability.
