from burlington to the world,
About Me:My name is Julia Campos and I am a freshman at Burlington High School. I was born and grew up in Brazil, so my first language is Portuguese. I really like learning languages, so I ended up learning English before I moved to the United States, and now, I am learning Spanish and French.
I have always had some interest in computers, so I thought that this year might be my chance to start. During the last year I got some experience with python coding in the classes I took in Marshall Simonds Middle School, but I know I have a lot more to learn, which makes me excited. I look forward to being an owner of a big company, and I think knowing about computers might help me a lot throughout the journey, so that's the main reason I joined Help Desk (more informations about it below) Other interests of mine are literature and music. I have been playing the piano since I was 7, and I recently started learning the guitar. I love reading fiction books about anything, from romance to Greek mythology to solving crimes. I think this hobby of appreciating literature is really beneficial to me because it makes books that the school requires us to read less boring, and trains my mind constantly so it can always be active.

MUSIC THEORYTo understand how technology can be conected to music, we took at look at GarageBand and EarSketch.

ARCHITECTUREIt is crazy to think how much architecture can releate to technology and vice versa. Some programs compleatly changed the way architecture evolved.

"After a very challenging 2020-21 school year, I am pleased to announce that we are back full-time and in-person at Burlington High School and the BHS Help Desk. While the year will still present challenges due to the ongoing pandemic, it is good to all be back together. In the first few weeks of school, I think we’ve been able to accomplish a lot, and we have an outstanding group of returning and new students to the Help Desk. I’m very excited to see what these students will do and we are looking forward to a great year!" writes Mr. Wong about the students and the 2021-2022 school year situation
