Ever since I have used a computer, I have been captivated by the incredible world of the digital

Perhaps the most important experience during my more formative years was my experience with YMCA camping. I was a camper,

Moving ahead to the middle of this course has me feeling confident in my ability to define computer terms in various  business situations. In addition to this, the INFT124 class also helps me remember the names of basic computer parts and it also helps me competently explain how computers function. These activities also help me advance my computer knowledge, experience and competencies so I know how to complete challenging academic tasks.

Just this past summer I had one of the best weeks of my life not realizing how precious the experiences I had were. I had been on a canoe trek with my boy scout troop from here in Tenafly. The week was very fun. We canoed every day, saw beautiful things, met lots of new people, and did some of the best activities many of us had ever done. During this week I had learned lots of leadership skills being a co-leader and became closer with some of the people in the troop. I didn’t know

My studies in computer studies over the past few days had me discontented in the beginning and joyous with a shared determination by Saturday afternoon. I opened the learning guide for the weeks working session starting June 25 and ending July 1st for a quick glance of the topics and the requirements for successfully completing this unit work. From the onset, when I viewed the assignment, I asked myself what made me choose this course so early. I began doubting myself and my true potential without reading the full details and the literature associated with it. Off course this will not help me complete this assignment.

Claddis Stoner is an eleventh grader who is academically involved in the National Honor society while also being on the Student Activities Council and a dedicated member to her high school’s First Robotics team. She has always had an interest in computers and has been investigating the fields similar to doing what she loves for a little over 7 years. She is tenacious on being a computer scientist and is determined to do whatever it takes to get her there. This includes weathering the years of school to achieve a doctorate

Being in the scouts have taught me lots of things. They have taught me life skills that I can use in the real

Furthermore, with the skills acquired from the college, I can aid not only myself, but others around me to move forward in technological advances and work for an ever growing future. Not only that, but I am yearning to observe how deep my passion for technology will bring me into learning in the Computer Science Major. No matter how challenging the course may be or how difficult it is to comprehend at first, nothing is impossible and will not stop me from my way of benefiting others around

I became interested in computers during the early 1990s and it happened right in my house. Within my community no one really knew what a "programmer" was or how to become one. At first, programmers were the engineers the circuits and processors. In April 1990, I volunteered to help my brother, a Computer Information Systems major at UTPA, to program the IBM-1401. I was 13-years old, had graduated from high school five years later, and decided to study the field of computers, specifically information technology (IT). In today’s high-tech world, virtually every business needs computer networking professionals to set up and maintain an in-office network (Irvine, 2011). This includes a variety of tasks such as engineering the network infrastructure, administering Windows systems and maintaining an email system (Irvine, 2011).

My journey truly began with my Troop at the Winter Klondike, my first and probably second coldest campout. The goal was to work together as a human bobsled team to complete each of the different challenges. None of the other members of my age group went, and I had not really gotten to

Being in cadets has given me the opportunity to do things I would never have thought I would do. I have participated in two expeditions and was recognized as one of the top cadets for one; I have jumped off a 30 foot building (with proper equipment!) three times as part of a mock parachutist exercise; I have participated in a military-level obstacle course and received recognition for that; I have been recognized as the top musician of my corps and top of my class at various times which I had never thought would have happened before I had joined cadets.

In 2002 I was placed on orders to Camp Casey South Korea. I was placed in a combat arms unit, Charlie Company, 1st and 15th Field Artillery. This was by far the most challenging, and physically demanding unit I had ever been in. I didn’t take leave while in Korea, so I did a flat out non-stop 12 month tour.

Throughout my educational journey, I constantly hone my knowledge in computer science. There is not a day where I did not polish my skills.

Computer Science, Software Engineering and Information Systems are international qualifications, enabling people to work globally, and in a very broad variety of roles. There is steady growth in demand for technically adept and flexible IT graduates. Declining student enrollment, while growth continues in law, medicine, biology, economics, and business; the decline among women is particularly alarming (Klawe and Shneiderman 27). Computer science is now a part of everyone’s daily life through the innovations and technologies it enables. From transforming health care to enabling a more robust national defense, computer science is on the forefront of discovery, driving economic growth and transforming our

Playing games on my father's computer as a child fascinated me in the way the computer works, how fast it develops, and now how the computer helps the world to communicate. It still amazes me in how fast computers change and how communication across the globe is enhanced with the computer. Computers have drastically changed how society lives and does business. Even small businesses can do global sales without leaving their location. With new strategies for business, comes cyber threats of identity theft and theft of intellectual property that brings information technology security and new laws into play. It is becoming a fast and ever challenging world. Computer science enables the ability to program software for protection against these kinds of threats and vulnerabilities. It also enables the ability to program artificial intelligence into the computer system software to enable society to meet their needs in more appropriate ways.

It is universally agreeable that with the advent of Computer technology, every ambitious and enthusiastic individual is really obsessed with the idea of doing computer science at graduate level because it seems to have created a zeal and enthusiasm in the hearts of youth, particularly those who aspire to be marked as high achievers. I, for one, seem to have been enchanted by these computer applications as they have made the world smaller, speaking in terms of globalization. I have no hesitation to add that core computerization alone is the suitable answer to all the areas unexploited and to the areas waiting for development. It has always been a fascination for me about how computers work, how these applications are designed and what can be the newer ways to explore the world of computers to make our world better. This interest became a passion for me when I was exposed to computer science basics, during my middle school. Pursuing computer science engineering at undergraduate level, further propelled my passion for computer science along with providing me a deeper insight and in-depth understanding of the subject. After completing my under graduation in Computer Science, I am willing to expedite my research interest and a masters degree seemed the most appropriate choice for realizing my aspirations.
