Name: Dekada Gilbert
Age: 17
Grade: S4
How has CedarBridge influenced you?
CedarBridge Academy has influenced me in numerous ways and helped me become resourceful and tenacious. One of the main things I learned during my school career is that I won’t get everything I want, so I will work with what I’ve got. My teachers have taught me to make the most of the things with limited resources. I have also learned that not everybody will see the same outcome even when you have the best ideas, but you should always be bold and speak up. Most of all, I have learned to do my best even on my worst days.
What is your favorite subject and why?
Maintenance and Light Repair, Transportation, Tech NCCER, and Music are my favorite subjects because they are all hands-on courses. I like working with my hands because I am a tactile-kinesthetic learner; everything disappears when I pick up a tool or an instrument. It’s like everything else in the world disappears.
What is your future goal, and why have you chosen it?
One of my goals is to study auto technology. I also want to go to school for radio production and media. Once I complete my education, I would like to have my own mechanic shop and also have my own radio station or segment/podcast. I will be the voice, so watch out!
