I Am A Computer Programmer

During the summer of my tenth grade year, I interned at Accenture, a consulting firm, where I repaired computers and resolved any software issues. At first I started opening and and exploring parts of retired dell laptops. As I became more proficient, I was able to help clients fix PC issues such as broken screens, replacing RAM, and transferring data from the hard drives to another computer. This internship inspired me to consider the Technology industry as a possible career. Taking into consideration the broad range of possible career paths in technology, I decided to major in Computer Science once I get to college.

When I watched my first Pixar movie and bought my first Nintendo DS, I was amazed by the creativity and entranced by the "new worlds" created by programmers. I want to learn computer programming because I believe that computer programming creates innovation and dreams into realities. Today, technology amazingly connects people through virtual realities, social media, and many more programs which is what I dream of being apart of.

In Year 8, a radiotherapist came into my school with a request - to help him develop a game to explain the process of radiotherapy to his patients. I decided to help out of curiosity, thinking that it would be interesting and that I'd learn something new. It was during the development process that I learnt my first lines of Python - which I now use extensively for my programs. That experience fueled my fascination with technology and its impact on the world around me, watching how the application of computing in other fields has bettered the lives of others.

Since I was little, I’ve always been good with technology. As a child, I would teach adults how to use their phone even if it was my first time holding the device. By giving me a few minutes, I could tell completely analyze a phone tell the owner how it works and such. That talent later developed my inspiration to become an electrical engineer that dealt with hardware and software that were used in phones and video games. This dream also led me to apply at a math and science school, GSMST. However it all changed in my first year there and it forever changed me.

Ever since I was 2 years old, I have made blueprints for inventions ( and some crazy stuff that isn’t physically possible or necessary ). From cars that clean the house to a system of pulleys designed to keeps rats out of our attic, inventing has always been a key part of my life. Then, I had thought that my dad new how to do anything, so when I approached him with my drawings he would just laugh, we still have the pictures I made of some robots I wanted. For a 7th grade science project we had to make a Rube Goldberg machine, it was so much fun for me that in the same year I decided to program. My hobby in programming started on Khan Academy, the lessons taught you how to make basic shapes and even games or websites. Occasionally I practice

I am not sure I did, because my first memories exploring, discovering and challenging the worlds of machines. Sometimes I would take my toys apart to see the inner working, but could not always re-assemble them. So truly I am still pursuing my dream make my toys work. I choose to attend a polytechnic secondary school and majed mechanics with concentration on mechatronic system. Moreover, cptone project was to automate a drilling device needing less human intervention. This was a team project, where I learned not only more about electrical and pneumatic circuits work, but also the satisfaction in being a member of a group where everyone taught each other something. These friends and classmates made this learning process richier and easier, because we cooperated and succeeded. Our work enlightened my passion for engineering and my commitment to share my learning with others.

Computers were always intriguing at an young age but I never attempted to understand them

Before, I entered high school I was a tech wiz like I built computers and fixed computers to help start my fire for interest in computers. Now that I am near the end of my high school years, Knowledge Matters has increased my interest in business and expanding my liking towards new technology like the latest gadgets and gizmos coming out today. In addition, many of us take technology for granted and don’t think about the important aspect technology is in our daily life. For example, I remember when I had to write everything out by hand in my earlier youth, but when a computer was introduced into my life I never would have went back to hand writing my papers. Also, technology continued to light my fire for interest by creating interest in the web and programs that I use daily in my life.

Because of the different applications that the computers can perform, I was very interested in computers, especially the idea of coding. I had zero knowledge of coding, but there is nothing that stopped me from learning how programs were created. It is intriguing because I saw many people on the news everyday able to create a new program that can advance the technology that humans currently have. I want to be someone who is able to create those programs to help the people improve their lives.

The only thing that I have kept on doing for over ten years besides things I need to do in order to survive is listening to music, and somehow I am lucky enough to make a living out of it, as I ended up working managing a indie music website. Both my parents have been writing codes since computers came along, and they are wildly considered as pioneers and experts in their field. Continually spending time on a certain subject really makes you

Which is probably why I always found myself in some sort of trouble for taking apart toys and having to throw them away because they would never work the same or again after I got my hands on them. In my adolescence and teen years, that curiosity grew to include computers, technology, and engineering. Then came the first few awkward years of college that everyone has, where you can’t decide what to do and you skip around to different majors and degree programs for a while before you have that moment of epiphany that you can apply what you loved doing as a kid to a real life (sort of---cowboy astronaut with supernatural powers). It wasn’t until the start of my undergraduate program that I began developing a solid foundation and understanding of information technology, information systems along with some basic understanding of electronic and computer

To begin with, as an aspiring computer programmer, technology will always play a role in my career because someone is responsible for the software and programs that allow a computer to run.Computer programmers have to make the software and programs so the world can use it. It didn’t just appear there. Someone had to make the plan before it could be something great. Look at Snapchat. It didn’t just start out as an amazing social media application. No, a team of programmers came together and made the blueprints to what is now a great application for quickly sharing photos with friends and family. It doesn’t stop a just social media applications. There are educational websites and apps such as Edmodo, where students and teachers can communicate with one another, find class assignments, and even turn them in electronically. Who do you think had to have done that?

I have lived in the unites states all 6200 days of my life. I have moved once, been to 5 different schools in two districts, and traveled out of state numerous times. I have learned a lot in my time as an American, and the various aspects of my life have shaped me into who I am today. One such aspect is modern day technology. Technology is such an integral part of our society, that governments could collapse if it were to disappear, and with it, our way of life.

I started middle school when we moved to Rochester Hill’s from Ann Arbor. Our new blended family (my mother remarried) had several computers and other new technological devices, as did most of the homes in the affluent community in which we lived. Home pc’s became a useful tool in middle school; I surfed the net, wrote papers, and researched articles over the Internet. My whole family became engulfed with the technology wave. Our extended family and close friends eventually all came to a point where they used some sort of pc or computing device in their everyday lives. Computers made it easy to communicate, and because our family and relatives lived a good distance apart we were able to effectively chat and email our way out of “snail mail.”

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
