1. I decided to enroll in the BAS-IST program because I hope it will help me in my chosen career. Becoming a video game developer is obviously a technology-intensive job, and unfortunately, I am very bad with technology.

2. I am from Gainesville, Florida. I've never lived anywhere else.

3. I'm hoping to come away with a better understanding of technology and how it works. In particular, I am interested in errors and what causes them; I run into strange errors and other issues with technology fairly often.

4. In the future, I hope to finish my degree, get a job with a video game company, and hopefully make some friends.

5. As stated earlier, I'm hoping to become a video game developer. I'd prefer to become a designer, but that requires many skills (effective communication with others, artistic ability, and being able to manage a team) that I do not possess.

6. Most of my interests revolve around video games; I love most genres, outside of rhythm, sports, and simulations, and even those have some exceptions. I also enjoy anime, reading, anything animated (there's so much you can do with animation that can't be pulled off with live action; it's so creative!), playing with my dogs (I have three; a toy poodle, a bichon frise, and a bulldog.) and animals in general.

Here's hoping for a great semester!

I returned back to school a couple years after obtaining a BA in Criminology. I began working in corrections and decided that it wasn't an environment that I vibed with. I couldn't think of any other crim-related career paths that would be much different than corrections. Finally, I reviewed the programs here and decided to try coding. This is my true career path :). Stopping at an AS just isn't enough. I could never satiate my appetite for tech knowledge. Naturally, I continued my learning by entering the BAS program.

I am from Coral Springs, FL. Basically, Fort Lauderdale, for everyone unfamiliar with South Florida haha.

I've been given the opportunity to Intern at GRU and I notice that the department that I work in uses SQL a lot, so I hope to get a deeper understanding of working with data so that I could use this understanding and apply it to real data.

I would like to make enough money, work in field that I love, so that I can focus on what's important in life; which is the quality of my time in my present moments.

I want to work in a field where I'm mostly coding. I want to mostly work with backend code as opposed to UI.
I also see now that working with data may also be a point of interest.

I enjoy finding different recipes and cooking. This new hobby actually came about through my body journey. I've been wanting to gain size for a while now and I realized that my relationship with food had to change in combination with my weight-lifting so that I can bring about change.
I'm also loving my experience of coming closer to myself through spiritual-related activities like meditation and yoga.

Hello everyone!

1. Why did you decide to enroll in the BAS-IST program?
I received my Associate's Degree from Santa Fe College in 2017. At that time, I had a young daughter and needed just enough college education to land a decent job to support my family.

3. What do you hope to take away from this class?
Although I am currently not a manager, I am excited to learn more about management skills. I hope to learn more about leadership. Most managers know how to be a boss. There is a big difference between a boss and a leader. I plan to share and use the knowledge I learn in this class with my current office.

4. What are your future goals?

Graduate with my BAS-IT degree.

Make more money.

Prepare my children for the future, and hope they one day make a positive impact on society.

6. What interests you? Hobbies?
I enjoy spending quality time with my family. We love being outdoors. We mostly spend our weekends hunting or fishing. We recently purchased electronic bikes, and I can't wait for them to arrive. We bought attachments for both bikes so the kids can ride with us.

Hometown: Viriginia Beach, VA -- I have been living in Gainesville for six years.
Goals for Class: I would like to learn more about managing in an IT environment. In particular, I am interested in learning the challenges that managers in IT face and how to overcome those challenges through planning and execution.
Future Goals: Ideally, I would like to have a satisfying career that challenges me more over time.
Employment Goals: After graduation, I would like to get a full-time position as an application developer.
