Being able to achieve an important aspect in life can be transitioning, gratifying, and most importantly, memorable. Before beginning to decide where to start in life, an accomplishment or event that I achieved is relative to the start of a puzzle. In a sense, this is the root of a career or goal for the future. As for a career choice, becoming a computer hardware engineer occurred because of a successful attempt of working a computer at a very young age. As a child, I have always found computers to be both intriguing and fascinating because of their functionality to handle everyday situations.
When my father bought his first computer, he was appreciative of possessing his own despite its appearance and functionality. The first computer my

Compared to the other students, I excelled in many fields such as typing, computer programming, and digital arts. From that accomplishing moment, I decided that my dream was to become a computer hardware engineer and construct or design computers for future generations.
When I was in second grade, my family had to make a decision that would affect me mentally as I had to change homes. Although I still went to the same elementary school, the travel time between the new house and the old was twice as long and because of that, I had to transfer to another school. At the new school I transferred to, there were not as many computer courses to take and because of this, I did not have the time to continue taking computer courses outside of school, as I was busy with schoolwork.
The following year, I slightly began to lose interest in the computer field, as I no longer had any computer classes to take at school. However, since there were no computer classes to take, my father purchased my very first computer. Upon receiving it, I was without words and began to use the computer for two years by playing games, paint, and many more. Although it the computer operated on Windows rather than Mac, I was still familiar with the format as I never saw a difference between the two at a young
Because of the people I chose to surround myself around, I found myself wanting to go into the field of engineering. My friends knew I had a passion for math and they suggested engineering as an occupation I should look into. As of result of that, I found myself getting into more hands-on projects in my last two years of high school, as well as taking an engineering focused course in high school to try it out. I fell in love with the career path and since then, I aspire to become an
When I was young I wanted to become a teacher; however, that all changed throughout the years. What had motivated me to become a teacher was all the supplies they had like the whiteboards, the markers, and the construction paper. It seemed fun and interesting to me to have all the supplies. I no longer wish to become a teacher. As I grew older I realized that I wanted to do something that has me going to places, seeing new things, speaking with diverse individuals, and for that reason I chose to be involved in Real estate.
Home technology has taken a gigantic step since the 1970s as not only has the performance improved, but more families have begun to feel a necessity to have these appliances. In 1977 the Apple 2 Computer was released to the public. What was then considered an “ordinary computer for ordinary people” is now seen only in museums and dumps. The personal computer was one of the first personal computer with no additional parts required to buy, such as cases for the computer or a way to supply it power. The Apple 2 was also had great graphics for its time and was very easy to use for normal people. We now have computers in our phones, but in the 1970s the Apple 2 was one of the only computer that you could effectively use at work, school, or at home (computerhistory.org). However, all of that is nothing compared to the computers we currently use. Now most families have a laptop computer that is portable and has a long battery life without having to remain plugged into a power outlet. The computers have gotten

During the 1970s, technology in the United States was still growing as personal computers were not as popular due to their bulky size. Not only were computers large in their form, they also cost more than what an average working class American could pay for. Due to the steppe price of a computer, they were considered more of a novelty item rather than a necessity for everyday use. Although personal computers were not yet seen in homes,
I was indecisive of my future career path. My mom would tell me the classic “You should be a lawyer” or “You should be a doctor.” I would go along with her idea for a couple weeks until I jumped off the bandwagon. I wasn’t passionate about either of those fields; I was interested in both math and science and as a young girl. As I got older, I became invested in technology due to my love of gaming, but I didn’t know that people devote their lives to technology until I interned.
I still remember the first account I ever made on the internet. I remember signing up to yahoo mail around the age of six or seven. I remember using that account to sign up for several other accounts, some of which I still use today. I remember the first computer I could ever call my own, a crappy blue Power Macintosh G3, with it’s bulbous glass screen and terrible plastic design. Ever since I was young, I was surrounded by technology, and this immersion led to fascination.
Starting by reading old computer programming books even before we had a computer in our house, I was driven to explore a new world of computers by learning the machines. I used my computer skills to help other people in part to share my enthusiasm on the positive force technology can bring to our society. Over the years, I helped neighbors clear out spyware, connect the computer to the printer, publish a website, and even delete precious photos on a memory stick
Steve saw his first computer terminal on a trip to the Ames Center with his father. When he saw it, he fell in love with it and realized he had a passion for electronics (Issacson 37).
I was ten years old when I first discovered the world of computer programming. Though our family had an Apple IIe, I was too young to do much with the machine at the time.
With this kind of attitude towards machines I was introduced to computers about what they can do and how they do it. This was enough for me to decide that I was going to work with computers all my life.
While the first time I used a computer was before the first time I had conscious thought, I reached out to my Dad and he told me he first brought home a computer for the family to use when I was 3 years old. At age 3, I was playing the age-old puzzle games that have captivated my enthrallment all my life (even to this day I’m trying to find a download for Zoombinis). This period must have been when technology became an important part of my life, because for every part of my life I can remember, technology has been an integral part of my life.
Industry analysis can be analyzed by Porter’s 5 Forces model used to design the marketing strategy for operations. The main objective of this study is that by creating dissimilarity between the industries that can facilitate to identify the formation of the business boundaries decisions. Major role of Porter’s five forces is to understand that what is industry?
My career path was rerouted after the birth to my son. I was managing a 24-hour Alarm Monitoring Call Center with two years of college education in Psychology. Due to an inconsistent work schedule and difficulty locating Psychology courses that worked around my schedule, I decided to change my career path to Business Management, since I already had nearly 8 years experience in supervision and management. My mentor introduced me and made me familiar with the Dictionary of Occupational (DOT) following high school. The DOT is comprised of all occupations and job titles, salary ranges, responsibilities, and industries (Berry, 2003). As I prepared for my new journey, I evaluated my decision, researched, planned, applied for new occupations that interest me, and prepared for my new career in Management.
Growing up, I was always around somewhat up to date technological appliances, as my grandfather was very keen on always having what's new and exciting at the time. That idea also followed me in my own home, where my parents had computers and
