Melissa EldridgeMelissa Eldridge

My name is Melissa Eldridge, I am 16 years old, and I am a junior at MaST Community Charter School. I was born on July 25, 1992 in Fishtown and moved to Northeast Philadelphia when I was 8 years old. I have brown, curly hair, green eyes, and fair skin. I consider myself to be a very friendly and sociable person.

I live with my mom, dad, and younger brother. I have 3 pets: a cat, a parrot, and a fish. We currently live in a row home in Northeast Philadelphia. My dad, Mike works as a Machinist at E.F. Precision and my mom, Angie works as an Admissions Supervisor at Elkins Park Hospital. My brother is currently attending MaST Community Charter School in the 7th grade. I believe my family and I have a very close relationship.

As a junior at MaST Community Charter School, I take Gym, Chemistry, Statistics, and IT Essentials. Next semester, I will be taking, Pre-AP History, Pre-AP English, IMP, and IT Essentials. I have a GPA of 3.5. Also, I may take a Psychology class at the Community College of Philadelphia this spring. I am involved in Student Council and I also play volleyball for St. Martha School.

I love the outdoors, so some of my hobbies are camping, going to the beach, bike riding, swimming, volleyball, and ice skating. I also love to read. Some of my favorite books include the Twilight Series and the Blue is for Nightmares Series. I also like to draw, watch my favorite TV shows, and hang out with my friends.

After I graduate High School, I plan to become an Elementary School Teacher. I plan to attend the Community College of Philadelphia for 2 years and then transfer to another. I want to major in History, English or Science. If I do not become a teacher, I want to become a psychologist.

After I graduate college, I plan to get married and raise a family of at least 4 kids. I plan to live in a nice neighborhood in Philadelphia.

I am very good at volleyball because I have been playing it for four years. I am also good at mechanics by helping my dad fix cars. I can distinguish each tool by its appearance and by understanding its purpose. I learned this by passing my dad the tools he needs. I like having this skill because I won’t have to rely on people when fixing my car or doing chores around the house.

Some of the jobs that would best fit me are:

Technical Writer ensure that standards are maintained in

technical documents and productsDatabase Administrator

ensure that computers systems for tracking information are maintained and function effectively

Network Designer and Administrator ensure that procedures and order are followed

and maintained in the functioning of office computer networks

&

Computer Programmer/Engineer write very detail-oriented computer programs IT jobs in accounting, stocks and bonds

companies and other businesses where you would use IT to develop financial tools and services

Out of the careers listed, IT would choose to become a Network Designer and Administrator because I like to design things.

IT stands for Information Technology. The purpose of Information Technology is to learn about computers and using that education in future careers. In Information Technology, students learn different computer parts, components, and software. Students learn how to fix broken computers, take them apart, and understand the names of the components such as the motherboard, CPU, and hard drive and their purposes. They also learn to download programs and reboot computers. Information Technology can get you ready for future careers in that field such as Network Technician and Network Designer. You could also work as Help Desk and in Telecommunications. The field of Information Technology is growing and will be apart of the future.
