I also partook in the Dual Enrollment Wgich allowed me to get + get college credit for the Computer Programming (C++), Applied statistics and Probability, and Information Technology classes + I took at Bowie State University. +
++ In the fall I will be attending Virginia Tech University as an undergraduate with a major in engineerng. I am going + into my freshman year as a general engineering student but I hope to change my major into a mechanical engineering major with + a minor in computer science. +
++ Hey! My name is Allegra Oledibe and I am an aspiring Engineer. I was raised in Rome Italy and my family + decided to move to Maryland when I was 9 years old. Academically wise I am mostly involved in my STEM Courses. + Outside of the academics I was the co-founder of the “Girls who code” chapter at my high school, which is an organization + that aims to support and increase the number of women in STEM by equipping them with the tools and skills needed to + thrive in the tech field. I also launched a green school initiative that allowed my high school to donate any + food scraps to local farms to turn into compost. +
++ A fun fact about me is that I'm the type of person that has a thousand different hobbies at once so it's kind of hard to + pin point just one thing that I am interested in, but recently I have really been into cooking. I really enjoy researching and finding new recipes + from different countries and learning about the cultural aspects of each dish. I also really enjoy eating the food that I get + to make! +

+ Hi!! My name is Allegra Oledibe and one of my favorite things to do is travel. Over the years I've gotten + the ooportunity to travel both domestically (within the United States) and internationally (outside of + the United States) to many different places. The reason why I love traveling is because I get to experience + someone else's culture and languange and becasue traveling takes me out of my comfort zone; it inspires me to see, + try, and taste new things! +
++ Traveling is something that I find very theraputic. In fact traveling has many benefits some being: +
Below are just a few of the amazing countreies that I've gotten the chance to visit. + Hopefully in the future I will be able to visit lots more and share new cultures and experiences! +

+ When in Rome.... Enjoy a slice of Pizza! I grew up in Rome Italy and lived there for 9 years. Rome is a beautiful city best known for it's tourism. Rome is a city dense of history and art. + If you choose Rome, Italy for your holiday, you certainly want to see the beautiful palaces, + museums and works of art that the Eternal City has to offer. + +
+ I have family that lived in Milan so I use to take train often to visit them. Milan is a beautiful city best + known for its architecture. Milan is the leading financial centre and the most prosperous manufacturing and + commercial city of Italy. + +
+ I visited Pescara when I was about 7 years old on a school trip. I got to visit the beautiful mountains of Monte Silvano + and I got to explore the wonderful vegetation and wildlife. Pescara is best known for its beautiful coast lines. + Pescara's origins precede the Roman conquest. It was founded to be the port of Vestini and + Marrucini tribes to trade with the peoples of the Orient, a supporting role that was held for centuries. + +
+ 
+ I visited Paris for the first time when I was about 5 years old. It took a sixteen-hour-long train ride to arrive + to france from Italy. Paris i best known for the Eiffel Tower and its rich fashion influence. Paris is one of the + few world capitals that has rarely seen destruction by catastrophe or war. For this, even its earliest history is + still visible in its streetmap, and centuries of rulers adding their respective architectural marks on the capital + has resulted in an accumulated wealth of history-rich monuments and buildings whose beauty played a large part in + giving the city the reputation it has today. +
+ 
+ I have a lot of extended family and friends that live in New-York, so every year for thanksgiving my family + decided to celebrate in New-York. New-York is best known for its busy city atmosphere and its eclectic architecture. + New York, often called New York City (NYC) to distinguish it from the State of New York, is the most populous city + in the United States. + +
+ Ive visited Florida once or twice during my summer breaks in school. Florida is best known for its Disney World + location in Orlando and for its tropical "vacation-esque" atmosphere. Florida is a Peninsula- meaning its almost + completely surrounded by water. Its northernost edge is connected to Alabama in the northwest and Georgia in the northeast. + Take a swim off Florida's west coast and you'll be in the Gulf of Mexico. + +
+ Though my time in texas was cut short by covid, I think that Texas was one of my favorite states in the U.S. Texas is best + known for its cowboy culture, which is a large part of the state's history and heritage. Cowboys were originally cattle + herders who drove their herds from Texas to markets in other states. You can still see them riding horses in the Texan + countryside. Today, cowboy culture is celebrated in many ways, including rodeos, country music, and cowboy hats and boots. + +
+ 
+ One summer my family decided to take a carnival cruise and the Bahamas was one of it's many locations. The bahamas + is best known for its resorts and beautiful beaches.The Bahamas , officially the Commonwealth of The Bahamas, is a + country within the Lucayan Archipelago of the West Indies in the Atlantic. It takes up 97% of the Lucayan Archipelago's + land area and is home to 88% of the archipelago's population. The archipelagic state consists of more than 3000 islands, + cays, and islets in the Atlantic Ocean, and is located north of Cuba + +
+ Unfortunately I did not get to spend a large amount of time in the beautiful islands but it is definetly on my + revisit list. Turk and Caicos is best known for its scuba diving and snorkeiling.The Turks and Caicos Islands + are a British Overseas Territory consisting of the larger Caicos Islands and smaller Turks Islands, two groups + of tropical islands in the Lucayan Archipelago of the Atlantic Ocean and northern West Indies. They are known primarily + for tourism and as an offshore financial centre. + +
+ Aruba is one of those places that instantly make you feel at peace. One of the Caribbean's crown jewels, + thanks to a tranquil and picturesque location in the Lesser Antilles, Aruba is known for soft white coral + sands, alluring turquoise waters, and a positive, magnetic energy. Aruba is one of the four countries that + form the Kingdom of the Netherlands, along with the Netherlands, Curaçao, and Sint Maarten. + +
