Cohort Stories: Meet Alejandrina
vol. 5, no. 6 — guest post by Alejandrina Percel
The biggest challenge for me has been figuring out who and what I want to become. I began college with an undeclared major. I tried business and computer science, but I didn’t feel the passion for either fields. This led to feeling unmotivated and lost. Organization is crucial to me and not having a plan in motion was truly a burden.
Growing up in a Spanish speaking household created a few extra responsibilities for me. Those responsibilities included translation and helping others with modern technology. This is where my interest for technology began. I was always being asked to show individuals how to use a computer, cell phone, or many other tasks that involved the use of technology.
I am excited to join Hack.Diversity because I feel that this will help me complete my vision for my future.
As I mentioned before it took me a while to find my path, and although I am not completely sure of what I want to do with my degree, I feel that each day I am getting to closer to finding out my goal and achieving it. I work hard each day to ensure that I will be in a position that will enrich my knowledge and fulfill my life goals.
