Bragging Sheet

     I am Jawad Rahman, a high school senior at Information Technology High School. I am currently in the final year of the Web Design CTE academy, being the Web Client Programming year of the academy. I was initially interested about the Web Design Academy for learning how to code my own computer programs and being able to get good paying jobs out of high school. After two years of this academy, I have passed AP CSP and got a 5 on the exam. I have gotten an ACA certification in Adobe Dreamweaver and Photoshop. I have created various games with JavaScript, two of which were entered into competitions, one making it to finals, and the other winning the competition (both these games were made with a team). In my final year, I'm going to be learning how to make my sites interactive using jQuery and server-client programming using PHP. Being in the Web Design Academy for around 2 years, I've gained numerous skills with unique applications as a result of being in the academy for 2 years as well as gaining many skills outside of Web Design that are useful for what I do in Web Design and what I will do in my future career. In general, the most relevant skills can be put into 3 categories: technical skills, for using technology; soft skills/power skills, for working at a workplace; and academical skills, which are skills I gained from other subjects that are useful nonetheless. Below are a list of my strongest skills in these categories:
