What Does a CTE Diploma Means To Me

A regents diploma consists of eight English Language Arts (ELA) college credits,  six Math college credits, eight Social Studies college credits, six Science college credits, two Languages Other Than English (LOTE) college credits, four Visual Art, Music, Dance, and/or Theater college credits, 4 Physical Education college credits, one Health college credit, and seven elective credits for the minimum requirements. Meanwhile, the minimum requirements for the advanced regents diploma is eight English Language Arts (ELA) college credits, six Math college credits, eight Social Studies college credits, six Science college credits, six Languages Other Than English (LOTE) college credits, four Visual Art, Music, Dance, and/or Theater college credits, 4 Physical Education college credits, one Health college credit, and 3 elective credits for the minimum requirements. Now to get a regents diploma you need to get a grade of  65 or above for English Language Arts (ELA), 65 or above on one Math, Social Studies, and Science exam, and a 65 or above on any additional regents exam or state approved +1 option. To get a advanced regents diploma you need to get a 65 or above on English Language Arts (ELA), 65 or above on Math, Science, and Social Studies exams, a 65 or above on any additional regents exam or state approved +1 option, and a 65 or above on one NYC LOTE exam. Having a CTE endorsement on your regents diploma/advanced regents diploma will help by having extra college credits along side the ones you earned, reduced or free college tuition, and earn a stamp on your diploma.

 Having a CTE endorsement would benefit me personally by making my college intuition fees reduced or free. Another benefit would be having a secondary career or living along side what I would be studying at college. Furthermore I could have financial stability after I graduated from high school. The unique benefits of obtaining a CTE endorsement through web design would be that I would know how to code and work in offices or companies where coding is needed. Also, I would have work experience already once I graduate out of high school with a better resume than most students that just graduated high school would.
