WHAT IS LINK
LINK stands for: Leaning, internships, of new knowledge. LINK is part of Animas High School's program to encourage students to explore different career path. LINK provides leaning opportunities and internships to help individuals acquire new knowledge and skills. Such a program is aim to help individuals build their professional network, gain practical experience, and develop new competencies that are relevant to their chosen career paths.
COMPUTER & ELECTRICAL ENGINEERING DEPARTMENT
During my internship at Fort Lewis College, I had the opportunity to work under the guidance of Professor Yiyan Li, who is a highly respected expert in the field of electrical engineering. Under his guidance, I was exposed to a range of fundamental concepts such as number systems, Boolean algebra, logic operations, and electrical circuits.
As for the first week of the internship, I learned how to program basic codes in the C language using the Arduino program, which is widely used in the field of electrical engineering. This hands-on training allowed me to apply the theoretical knowledge I had acquired and which allowed me to be able to program blinking LED lights. This experience was particularly useful in understanding the practical application of the theoretical concepts I had learned. The Last week, me and one of my school colleagues worked on a 'Timer', this timer was based on the skillsets and projects we did in the prior two weeks. The timer was consist of 4 digit SSD display, buzzer, jumping cables, resistors, and Arduino UNO boards.
Overall, my internship at Fort Lewis College was a valuable experience that allowed me to gain theoretical knowledge and practical skills in the field of electrical and computer engineering. It also helped me develop patience in high-stress situations and overcome challenges. Working under the guidance of Professor Li, a highly experienced and knowledgeable expert in the field, enabled me to learn and grow significantly. This internship serves as an example for students aspiring to pursue their interests in colleges and universities, providing a clear path for their post-high school endeavors. I strongly believe that this experience has prepared me well for future academic and professional pursuits in electrical and computer engineering.

NEXT YEAR
As I embark on the next chapter of my life after high school, I am brimming with excitement and anticipation. This is a pivotal moment where I have the opportunity to shape my future and carve out a successful career. One element that I believe sets me apart is my unwavering discipline. In today's world, where many people struggle with maintaining discipline and rely solely on motivation, I understand the importance of pushing through even when I don't feel like it. This attribute will be instrumental in my journey towards success.
To demonstrate my discipline, I have devised a plan that encompasses various aspects of my post-high school life. Firstly, I will continue my education by enrolling in college courses while concurrently attending high school classes. This dual approach will allow me to expand my knowledge and develop a strong academic foundation.
Moreover, I am committed to dedicating my time and effort to my wage work. By maintaining a strong work ethic and consistently delivering quality results, I can showcase my discipline in a practical setting.
Moving forward, my primary objective is to strive for excellence in all areas of my life. Academically, I will aim for all A's, pushing myself to achieve the highest levels of academic success. I understand the value of taking classes that align with my long-term goals and will choose courses that are beneficial and relevant to my desired career path.
In addition to my academic pursuits, I will diligently work on my college applications, ensuring they reflect my passion, dedication, and potential. I will also explore college classes that can provide me with a solid foundation in the engineering field, which is an area of interest to me. Furthermore, I have aspirations of eventually building a business in the engineering field, leveraging my skills and knowledge to create something impactful and meaningful.
