Written Reflection
As the Each1Teach1 program closes, I’ve reflected on what I’ve learned the past weeks and how I’ve grown. One of the projects that stood out to me was the shadow website. I chose to focus on Peace Parks SF, which is a program for youth and young adults living near the projects to make sure they have access to job training, food, and other resources. It was clear and straightforward using the required software, Weebly, since you can just drag the elements you want on the website. I enjoyed having more creative freedom and customizing the different pages while also learning about a nonprofit in San Francisco. Another highlight of creating was making a native HTML website design on Figma. It was similar to using Weebly since you can drag parts to the page and add images, but you don’t have to deal with preset borders and themes. I experimented with changing fonts, using tools to render images, and making my website design more personal.
I think I’ve personally changed as a learner by having more of a growth mindset after interning at Each1Teach1. Due to the fact that I switched to the Each1Teach1 worksite later, I was only able to participate for the last 3 weeks. I didn’t think it was possible to catch up on the assignments and get a lot out of the program, but having support from my supervisors and putting more time in helped me accomplish more. One of the challenging parts was getting started on Codecademy because I was unmotivated from my late start and had no prior coding experience. However, after setting a goal of how many lessons I would go through everyday, I was at least able to finish Basic HTML and CSS. When I have free time I’d like to go back to Codecademy and learn more languages.
As I transition out of EachTeach1 to work on personal projects, something I want to build on that gives me hope for my future is having my own HTML website to sell illustrations. I don’t plan on running it very long term, but I do think it would be a good opportunity before I graduate high school. Having a website would prepare me for the future because it would give me insight on what having a small business is like. It would also motivate me to get better at HTML and CSS, which I can apply to other jobs in the future. Lastly, I think it would be a good push to show my digital art and build on my drawing skills.
