The STEM Life

Why did I chose the STEM life?
Or should I say did the STEM life choose me.

Choosing a STEM field is something I knew that I will always do. Every step of my educational journey was leading me to where I am today. All the people I have met along the way have pitched in and helped me get where I am now. 
Yes, there were times where I believed it was too much and it got a little bit overwhelming. But honestly that come with the job and I have decided to push through and continue. I am so happy that I am doing something that I am passionate about because that is my motivation to keep on going. Now that I am at ASU West, and I am so close to finishing my degree is very exciting and I cannot wait to see what I will be able to do in the future.

What an Interesting Semester..

Now that we are near the end things are getting a little bit stressful. But I am glad that I feel a lot better this semester than the last one. This semester has definitely been very interesting, and I am sure that I can speak for everyone. Being forced to self isolate ourselves, and convert to online learning was very tough. Hopefully next semester we are able to go back to school and enjoy all the small things. if this quarantine has taught me anything its that I was taking the small things for granted. Next semester, I will be becoming a senior and completing my last year at ASU and I cannot wait to make memories. I just would love to congratulate all the graduates that have completed their studies this semester. And it is unfortunate that they will probably not have the celebration that they were hoping for but they all should be proud no matter what. I hope when all this is done that they will be able to celebrate like how they deserve.

Fixed vs. Growth Mindset

Mindset Google Image I remember we had to read the book Mindest by Carol S. Dweck last semester too for this TRAIN class, however kind of skimming through it again there were some main key points that I didn't resonate with the first time I read it. I feel like the first time reading this book one of the main key points that I carelessly neglected to do, was to actually use the techniques on how to actually change a fixed mindset to a growing one. Like I knew what I had to do to get out of that fixed mindset I was in. Not going to lie, I wasn't really doing anything to help better my thoughts, and I really do believe that it was getting in the way of my education, and even my personal life. As cliche as it may sound, however, this pandemic and a lot of alone time being at home, along with other incidents that have happened recently, it has really made me think a lot more about what kind of life I want for myself. Getting closer to graduation, and going back to those long term g...

Spring Conferences

I have been going to so many conferences for the past two years, that last semester I wanted to take a small break and focus on my transfer to ASU. But I am glad to say that this semester I will be presenting my research at the Arizona/Nevada Conference. At Phoenix College, I work with Dr. Frank Marfai, and our goal this semester and last semester is to introduce undergraduate research to students. We know that it is very hard for students to find time outside of their already busy schedules to find an internship. So what we try to do, is build a CURE inside a statistics class. We have partnered with ADEQ (Arizona Department of Environmental Quality). They kindly share their air and water quality data for our students and they are able to use it to perform statistical tests. In the end, they make a poster and they present it to our local industries. We had some students look at the Arsenic levels over different counties, and we also had another group look at how the ozone levels ca...
