My vision.
- 00:03 - 00:05
How you doing? My name is Harold Davis. Um
- 00:05 - 00:08
I go to BS U Virginia State University and I study,
- 00:08 - 00:10
study the major in computer science.
- 00:11 - 00:14
I'm from Delmar Delaware, which is the south in Delaware.
- 00:15 - 00:18
Um Out of this uh career, I really wanna be a software engineer.
- 00:18 - 00:21
Like that's my top choice or cybersecurity.
- 00:23 - 00:26
Uh The reason why I chose my career is because the pay rate is nice.
- 00:26 - 00:30
You know, I get paid six years out of the year of college, depending on how good I am.
- 00:30 - 00:33
Um the flexibility within the schedule like I feel
- 00:33 - 00:35
like time is money and time is very,
- 00:35 - 00:37
very value to valuable to me.
- 00:37 - 00:37
So
- 00:38 - 00:40
once again, I'll be able to, I'll be able to create my own schedule.
- 00:40 - 00:42
Um I can work remote and hybrid,
- 00:42 - 00:46
which means I can also travel and live my life without having to stress
- 00:46 - 00:50
uh between like going to work and coming home or going to actual building
- 00:51 - 00:54
our freedom once again, cause freedom, freedom for the pay rate.
- 00:54 - 00:54
Um
- 00:55 - 00:57
freedom for me is like financial, freedom,
- 00:57 - 01:00
freedom from stress and freedom from like
- 01:00 - 01:01
the struggle of surviving.
- 01:02 - 01:02
So
- 01:03 - 01:06
the more money I have the less, I mean, the more money I have,
- 01:06 - 01:07
the more freedom I will have.
- 01:07 - 01:09
And also I wanna break the stereotype of
- 01:09 - 01:12
like black men not being as intelligent or uns
- 01:12 - 01:16
or sophisticated as other races because of like generational curses.
- 01:17 - 01:17
Yeah.
- 01:20 - 01:23
What did I learn from? Um, freshman studies?
- 01:23 - 01:25
I mean, that had people in my corner
- 01:26 - 01:26
in,
- 01:26 - 01:29
in my room around me to just talk to you about anything,
- 01:29 - 01:30
like, question wise.
- 01:30 - 01:36
Like I have um deans, I have professors, I have my peers, I have mentors
- 01:37 - 01:38
and you know,
- 01:38 - 01:40
I just have a lot of support.
- 01:41 - 01:44
Also, I learned that organizations are here to support me as well.
- 01:44 - 01:48
Um It allows me to network and bring the creativity out of me as a person.
- 01:48 - 01:50
And I can also learn myself as an individual.
- 01:52 - 01:53
Also,
- 01:53 - 01:56
I learned the steps to become a Great
- 01:56 - 01:59
Virginia University student and become the best graduate.
- 01:59 - 01:59
And that can be,
- 02:00 - 02:04
I learned that time management is a very essential aspect of college.
- 02:04 - 02:06
That's where a lot of people fail at.
- 02:07 - 02:11
And when they do fail that they either fail at college or they have to
- 02:11 - 02:13
put in a lot more effort to
- 02:14 - 02:17
succeed in college due to their lack of time management.
- 02:18 - 02:19
And those are the peers that uh
- 02:20 - 02:21
I mett with, they called, you know, you know,
- 02:22 - 02:23
the middle with the blue.
- 02:24 - 02:26
She's really very intelligent by the way. Uh
- 02:28 - 02:32
I also learned that the flaws that I have, I feel like
- 02:33 - 02:34
I'm very bad with time management.
- 02:35 - 02:36
Um I procrastinate a lot, you know,
- 02:37 - 02:39
so I need to work on, you know,
- 02:39 - 02:43
prioritizing my work and making sure that I get my work done before. Anything else,
- 02:43 - 02:44
once again, prior, prior
- 02:45 - 02:46
prioritization,
- 02:46 - 02:48
not like per se, like
- 02:48 - 02:50
I don't wanna correlate with time is
- 02:50 - 02:51
because like I prior,
- 02:51 - 02:52
like when I do do my work,
- 02:52 - 02:54
I really don't organize it.
- 02:54 - 02:57
So I might get the things that don't need to get done first before,
- 02:57 - 02:59
like the most important things or like the
- 02:59 - 03:02
things that need to get done quicker because like
- 03:02 - 03:04
they are due tomorrow or the day after that.
- 03:05 - 03:08
Um Sometimes I lack effort in the things I do because, you know,
- 03:08 - 03:09
things do come easy to me.
- 03:09 - 03:10
Sometimes
- 03:11 - 03:13
in college is college is a different environment.
- 03:13 - 03:16
I need to be able to like study more and put and put effort into
- 03:16 - 03:18
like the things I might get done because once again,
- 03:18 - 03:22
like this is real life and this is gonna translate over to my career.
- 03:24 - 03:30
Uh And if I don't get like, if I don't improve on the flaws I have now, I won't have free.
- 03:30 - 03:31
Oh, sorry, I won't have freedom.
- 03:32 - 03:33
Do apologize for that.
- 03:35 - 03:38
Not only was my con revealed to me but you know,
- 03:39 - 03:41
the, the good things about, you know, myself. Um
- 03:42 - 03:44
I feel like I'm very uh friendly person. I can never easily.
- 03:44 - 03:46
So the four people at the bottom
- 03:46 - 03:48
uh the one all the way to the right.
- 03:48 - 03:50
That's my dean for the engineering building and
- 03:50 - 03:52
then the other three people are advised or,
- 03:52 - 03:53
yeah, are advisors.
- 03:53 - 03:55
I met professors I met that can help me out to uh
- 03:55 - 03:59
improve my college experience and definitely help me um on a career
- 03:59 - 04:00
after college.
- 04:00 - 04:05
Um And, and at, at the top right corner is the friends I meet, uh the peers that
- 04:05 - 04:07
I got to, to know
- 04:07 - 04:08
in and out of,
- 04:08 - 04:12
and I got to also uh express their love of engineering or
- 04:12 - 04:14
any other major that they're trying to join.
- 04:16 - 04:20
Uh How has freshman studies and me being a bu also
- 04:20 - 04:23
the stem uh program prepared me for like beyond college.
- 04:23 - 04:26
Uh It allowed me to get out of my comfort zone,
- 04:26 - 04:28
meet people that I wouldn't necessarily meet
- 04:29 - 04:31
if I didn't come here. Well, I could have but you never know.
- 04:31 - 04:32
Um
- 04:32 - 04:35
allowed me to learn the flaws that I did have before college.
- 04:35 - 04:36
It allowed me to set,
- 04:36 - 04:40
set up prior to college so that I won't stress while I'm in college.
- 04:41 - 04:43
Also, it allowed me to
- 04:44 - 04:48
find a new perspective on life by like
- 04:48 - 04:50
generalizing my goal.
- 04:50 - 04:54
So now my goal that I generalized is not just to like
- 04:55 - 04:58
network in college, get my work done in college
- 04:59 - 05:00
time management in college,
- 05:00 - 05:02
but also to be successful in my major and
- 05:02 - 05:05
to be successful as a college student in general.
- 05:05 - 05:06
Because once again,
- 05:07 - 05:10
if I'm successful as a college student, everything else will come with it
- 05:10 - 05:12
and that will correlate over to
- 05:12 - 05:13
after college in my career.
- 05:14 - 05:17
So, yeah, great happens here. My name is Harry Davis and I go to BS U.
- 05:18 - 05:22
I will graduate 2028 for sure. As a computer science major. Have a great day.
