About GITA

The Global Information Technology Academy (GITA) is a course that introduces and teaches students about programing.
GITA 2 is a class that builds on GITA 1 where students continue to learn how to program and create their own games.
This class is based on lectures, trial and error, and personal research.

The GITA program is a four year long program at my high school, where GITA 2 and GITA 4 are counted as AP classes.

In Gita 1, we learned how to code in C# and a little bit of HTML.
So far in Gita 2 we've learned more about how to code in HTML as well as Java Script.

About Me

I'm a sophomore.

This is my fourth year taking a computer science class and my second year in the GITA program.

This year I'm taking:
Honors Chemistry
Chinese 2
Honors Lit. Comp. 2
AP European History
AP Pre Calculus
AP Computer Science Principles (GITA 2)
Basketball

I'm taking AP tests for euro, pre calc, and computer science.
I'm also self-studying for the AP World test.

Clubs I'm involved in are:
Lady IT
Care Crates
Robotics
Foster Love

In school, volunteer organizations I am a part of are Care Crates (a club which makes and distributes care packages), Foster Love (a club that works with the Foster Love organization to make fostercare a better experience for children in it), and Lady IT (s club that teaches basic coding to kids in elementary school).
Outside of school I participate in a community organization called Student Advisory Board (SAB), which is a program that gives back to the community through volunteer events.

My Goals

While I don't have a set career that I would like to do, I know that I would like to attend a college or university preferrably in the SoCal area.
Through high school I am expoloring a variety of different classes to get a better understanding of what I would like to pursue.

In high school my goals are to maintain good grades and to graduate with enough college credits for at least one year of college.
