This portfolio represents my work throughout Grades 11-12
My name is Mark Rodriguez and I am in the Engineering track here at STEM Innovation Academy of the Oranges. I enjoy extra circular activities such as soccer and volleyball. I attend both Soccer and Volleyball Club at STEM. I played for the Orange Highschool Boys Varsity Soccer team since Freshman year to Senior Year. At STEM, I enjoy classes such as Engineering and Financial literacy because of how interactive and interesting the courses are. I look forward to continue learning more into the minds of an Engineer and of an entrepreneur.
The achievements I am most proud of is being enacted as Captain for the Orange Highschool Boys Varisty Soccer team for my Senior Year. I was chosen to be a member for the National Honor Society. In addition, I have been able to achieve Honor roll or High Honor roll for all marking periods for all four years of highschool.
My strengths are perseverance and teamwork. In both sports and school, I continue to work despite the workload or difficult times that may present itself. I have found myself to be able to work with others and succesfully complete a task.
The skills I am working on is my presentation skills, leadership and creativity. I find myself struggling when presenting, because I get nervous and tend to look back at my notes a good amount of times. I intend to fix it so I can feel more comfortable when it comes time to present my Capstone Project. My leadership skills are average, and I intend to improve on it so It can translate into my profesion and in sports. Lastly, I intend to improve my creativity and approach to problems I may find problems with.
