The first major assignment I had done for this course was the resume and cover letter. I found it difficult at first, especially looking for templates that I can feel comfortable with. I had switched from Word to google docs and vice versa many times before ending up using a Word template. I had problems figuring out what to put on my resume considering I had no experience in engineering even though this was an engineering class, so I decided to create a resume for a job where I can apply the experience I had previously to the specific job. So, I decided to create a resume to be a forensic specialist for high school students because I had experience in forensic science in my senior year of high school. Originally, I wanted to do my resume for a case analyst position for the innocence project, but the position was no longer available at the end, making me restart my entire resume and cover letter. The class we had on how to create a resume and my classmates made this process a lot easier.
The Dice Probability Lab Report was probably the lengthiest project I had done on my own while being in CCNY. There was a long process where I had to roll a pair of dice for a multiple of 100 times. I would’ve preferred to roll it exactly one hundred times, but instead I did 200. It was very time consuming considering I had other assignments to do for other classes. I thought I wouldn’t complete it on time, but i did; which is surprising. The hardest part for me was finding a scholarly source for my analysis. Most of the sources in the CCNY library websites did not support my analysis, but I ended up finding one. The options were very limited because I had to choose sources that were peer reviewed. I also learned how to use google sheets for the first time too. I had to make two graphs for the results using google sheets. I never learned how to do it, so I had to watch some youtube videos about it.
Introductory Paragraph
Hello, I’m Mariam (she/her)
I was born and raised in the bronx my whole life, but I am Gambian. Originally, I wanted to major in biomedical engineering, but I just recently changed my mind right before the semester started and now im thinking of majoring in biotechnology. I mostly enjoy reading manga or webtoons because I like to see what the scene would be visualized as. My favorite manga would probably be Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure. I also like to watch disney movies, but I haven’t watched one in a while. My favorites would have to be hunchback of notre dame, Mulan, or the princess and the frog. I usually don’t like reading books because the one’s that I’ve read were in high school, but the one I really loved was “The Perks of Being a Wallflower.” The movie was great too. My issue with writing is that it might not seem good to other people even though I think I worked hard on it. Three cool facts about me is that I can solve a rubix cube, I won first place in my middle school science fair where I had to find the DNA of a strawberry, and I currently have 2.8k followers on tiktok.
