York College STEM Trip Reflection

On March 3, 2017 some of the Web Academy family attended to this event/trip. In this trip we were all join by some of the seniors and sophomores, so it was a variety of all 3 grades. We took the Cheese Bus to get to where we needed to go and i thought that was pretty cool since usually we just take the public transportation to get to were we need to go.  Throughout the whole bus ride i felt asleep. When we go there we were sited down in an auditorium. That's were we started to heard out about the stories of different speakers and gather more information about the army.

Since this event was founded about the Army, basically we had to hear about and me as i person who literally have no interest in joining the army or being part of it, i was amaze to heard out everything that the speakers had to say. And i learned a lot and now know that army won't hold back anyone from having an education in college or doing what they want and following their dreams.
As well i learned a lot about how to be a leader and work in a group were i had to lead them using the language of programming, which is code, to accomplish that task that we were given. And also i learned that i have patience to when someone else is a leader and told to do what i have to do. This whole trip was a learning experience and i hope we have more to come.
