Community Statement

Statement

​

​​As I get ready to continue onto the next chapter of my life, I'm taking a moment to give my thoughts on being a student and being a human with a passion for technology. UAT's big on this idea of "Technology makes the community," and it's got me thinking about how I fit into this puzzle of community and change. Beyond the textbooks and code, I see myself as part of a couple of communities that make up the UAT experience quite nicely. Online, I'm in these techy forums where folks from around the globe geek out about the future. Locally, I'm a student ambassador trying to form a solid future for myself and the ones I care for. I'm all about digging into the nitty-gritty of things and tasks. Me and a bunch of pals were able to join our Geekrho group (Student Council) and work together in ways I wouldn't think of creating a new experience for myself and others. As I look ahead, I envision technology not just as a set of skills but as a bridge connecting people, ideas, and communities. It's more than just coding; it's about creating meaningful connections and positive changes. The UAT experience has shaped me into not just a tech enthusiast but a community builder, and I'm thrilled about the prospect of carrying this ethos into the next phase of my life.  Reflecting on my unique journey, I've come to appreciate the diverse path of experiences that have molded me into the person I am today. What makes me unique isn't just my knack for navigating through the endless discussion posts, but the genuine passion I hold for utilizing technology as a tool for positive change within communities. The allure of technology for me goes beyond its “wow factor”; it's a powerful force that can bridge gaps, elevate voices, and empower individuals. This perspective has been shaped not only by the academic goals at UAT but by the collaborative spirit of online forums and the friends I've made at UAT. Intellectually, I draw inspiration from thinkers who advocate for responsible tech use. UAT's emphasis on project based learning has been a guiding light, instilling in me the belief that the impact of technology extends beyond the digital realm. It's about making responsible choices, understanding the consequences, and being mindful of how technology changes us. It's not just about acing exams; it's about applying what I've learned to real-world situations. From being part of the Student Council to initiating projects that enhance the UAT experience, I've learned that technology isn't just a solitary endeavor but a collaborative force that can bring about positive transformations.
