Naftali's Story

My passion is coding.

It is my dream to be able to code games for my future career. I have a few projects I want to work on when I get the experience, skills and funds to accomplish this goal. My interest started when I was very young. I always enjoyed going on my PS2 and the computer we had. I would use them a lot and when I got my PS3 my interest in coding increased. I knew I want to study this in school. I wanted to make games or be on a team of game designers. I chose to watch a show called Sword Art online and it made want to make the type of gaming helmets they used to be part of the virtual reality games. Coding and gaming has also served as a way for me to connect to people and break out of my reserved shell.

A Note from Ms. Vargas, Naftali's Teacher

Naftali is one of the most dedicated students I have. He works relentlessly everyday to become better than the day before. He is committed to his education and I have no doubt he will be successful in any endeavor he commits himself to. Naftali is kind to others and always willing to help. He is my go to scholar when I need a great example of someone that is committed to being his best. Students like Naftali are the reason I love being a teacher.

It's almost time!!

I am excited to attend centenary summer program to learn about computers and forensic science. It has been my dream to pursue these fields and I will get to have a great experience. Since this is my dream I will have to work hard while I'm there to complete my goal. I will put to good use the money that was donated to me to succeed.
