 Getting to know me


My name is Jordan Green. I am a graduating senior majoring in Computer Science/ Information Systems with a minor in Cyber Security. During my tenure at Johnson C. Smith, I have attended several different tech-related conferences. My favorite conference would have to be Black Enterprise's Tech Connext. While attending this conference I was able to connect with other students from 15 different HBCUs. Attending this conference also allowed me to land my current role, a Security Engineer, at Electronic Arts (EA).


                                                                    


Background

I was born and raised in Prince George's County, Maryland. I have 3 sisters and 3 brothers. I am the 5th oldest. Growing up I was very active. I played soccer, ran track, and played softball. When I ran track, I ran the 4x400m, 4x800m, 800m, and the 1500m. In the end, I stuck with softball the longest, playing for about 7 years. Over the course of the 7 years, I played center field, short stop, and catcher.

In my free time I like to hang out with friends or family, online shop, or see what new skill I can teach myself. I am currently trying to teach myself how to code in Python. I am also determined to have a basic understanding of the stock market by the end of the semester. 

 

Upon graduation, I plan on moving to Florida to begin my career at Electronic Arts. I’m grateful for all the opportunities that Johnson C. Smith has provided over the years. I have met many genuine people and I have made many meaningful connections. A goal of mine is to be able to help HBCU students the way Terik Tidwell has helped me. 

 

I hope this course will give me insight on things that have happened in history that many people are unaware of. I look forward learning new things. 


Interesting Fact

An interesting fact about me is that I have a habit of procrastinating because I like to work under pressure.

Module 7 Reflection: Women's Suffrage Movement

After reading "The Struggle for Women's Suffrage" first paragraph it's hard to not feel some form of excitement. It speaks about how the American women of the 19th century had the highest female literacy rate in the world. Things were looking positive and progressive for women during that time, but as the article goes on you can't help to think they were sold a dream with the American Revolution.  Women were living a nightmare in my opinion. Women could not own property, make contracts, bring suits, or sit on juries. If women did any of these things there was a possibility that they could be legally beaten by their husbands and were required to submit to their husbands' sexual demands. Women have had to overcome laws and customs that discriminated on the basis of sex.  Many different women took on the task of trying to fight for change over the years. Some of these women included: Susan B. Anthony, Elizabeth Cady Stanton,  and Lucy Stone. Cady and Stanton wan
