What I plan to do after graduation: I plan to pursue a career in computer science. As of right now, I am still exploring what specific area in the field I want to dive into.
Why I Love Computer Science: A few years ago, I took a computer science course in high school and was surprised by the vast utility of this field. I quickly learned that it could be used for entertainment, exploration, and as a tool to help others. My passion for computer science and my fascination with technology left me with the desire to use my new skills to alleviate some of the worries that families experience with unemployment by creating a virtual world that gives more people a fair chance to succeed. Currently, I am not sure where exactly I will be focusing on in computer science. But I am eager to explore the several areas in computer science and see how I can serve others.
