What Was Your High School Experience Like as an Engineering Major?

As the only black person an all my classes, i was just treated differently and treated in a way to feel like people always assumed i was not smart. And then going to college, it wasn't really that different. There was just a lot less women as well. I am the type of person too, when people tell me i can't do something, i really, really want to do itnd,. especially if i'm treated one way, i really want to prove that i deserve to be there. That's o the way that i processed that environment, and i guess that's what made me really strive to catch up with where people were going - trying to find value outside of class
