Journal Entry

        I have learned many things during the semester i learned how to use different types of programs and software. Some softwares are Microsoft Excel, word, powerpoint. I learned how to graph on Excel and also some shortcuts within them to make charts. in word i used to use Word Art and also to change the sizes of that text and also put it in a different style. I can make the text different colors and also have the text have shadows and the text will look more decorative. In powerpoint i learned how to use master slides and edit them to make a presentation look more professional. These skills will help me achieve my goals.

      My goal was to learn how to use different types of softwares and shortcuts within them. in these softwares i learned to use there functions and also how to edit text and make i t look decorative. In addition to this, technology is important for my career because the careers i am interested in are software programming, computer engineer and computer science. All these careers involve knowledge about computers. In computer engineering, I have to know about the computers and what makes up a computer and also how people might get viruses while them realizing, If i know this then i can clean up viruses from computers and make them good as new.

   There are some other technology skills that i would like to learn. some skills are how to make a computer. Also how take pieces of a computer and learn how to put them together properly and make your own computer. So  then you can put as how much memory you want and also the speed (GHz). According to this there are a few Academy Majors that i would like for my  high school career.  The Majors are Apple, Cisco and  programming. I would like to like to have these majors because it involves what i want to do for my life in the future. So that is what my careers are and how they will help me in my future.
