"Sawubona, igama lami nginguBrandon, futhi ngingowomdabu waseMelika ovela esifundeni eseningizimu-ntshonalanga ye-United States. Ekukhuleni kwami, ngangingenalo ithonya elincane lokugxila emfundweni yami; Angizange ngithole injabulo kwezemfundo, ikakhulukazi ukufunda ngenxa yenkinga yokukhuluma nokubambezeleka kwezemfundo, ikakhulukazi ngezinsuku zokufunda ngokuzwakalayo. Ukwesaba ukukhuluma nokuzwakala ngingafundile emphakathini kwathinta inqubekela phambili yami kwezemfundo, futhi othisha baqala ukungidlulisa kusuka ebangeni kuya kwelinye. Kwaze kwaba yilapho ngiqala isikole samabanga aphakathi lapho isimo sami sengqondo ngemfundo sashintsha khona. Ngonyaka wami webanga lesi-6, ngaqala amakilasi ami okuqala anikezelwe isayensi nezibalo. Ngenkathi ngiqala ukufunda izincwadi zokufunda, ikhono lami lokuqonda okusetshenzisiwe lakhula kakhulu, nokuzethemba kwami ​​nakho kwakhula. Ngikwazile ukukhuluma phambi kontanga yami nothisha.

Ukuthokozela kwami ​​okusha kwemfundo kubangelwe isingeniso sami sokuqala sangempela semfundo esekwe ku-STEM. Ngalesi sikhathi empilweni yami, ngazizwa ngikwazi ukuthola imfundo. Ngangihlala ngizijabulela izifundo zami ze-STEM kusuka esikoleni esiphakathi phakathi nawo wonke unyaka wami wokufunda esikoleni esiphakeme. Lapho ngingena ekolishi, ngathola intshisekelo enkulu kuma-soft sciences ahlanganiswe nezifundo zami ezijwayelekile zesayensi. Isifundo sami esikhulu ekolishi kwakuyisayensi yokusebenza kwengqondo, njengoba ubuchopho buyisitho somzimba esijabulisa kakhulu. Ulwazi lwami olujwayelekile oluvela ku-STEM lwangivumela ukuthi ngiphumelele ekolishi, ikakhulukazi phakathi nezifundo zezibalo ezihlobene nengqondo yami enkulu.

Njengamanje ngisebenza e-Explora e-Albuquerque, eNew Mexico. I-Explora ingumnyuziyamu wezingane ongenzi nzuzo. Inkampani yethu yenzelwe ukucebisa imfundo yezingane nokuqonda kwabo i-STEM isencane futhi ikhuthaze abantu abadala ukuthi bathole injabulo yemfundo ye-STEM. Ngiyakujabulela ukusebenza e-Explora njengoba ngingasiza ukukhuthaza labo bonke ubudala ukuthi bathole injabulo ezindaweni ze-STEM. Ngeke wazi, ukuxhumana kwami ​​okuncane namuhla kungathonya umuntu ukuthi anqume ukuqala umsebenzi we-STEM ngokuzayo."
