It helped me develop an interest into the technical field and gave me opportunities to excel. A large influence that furthered my interest in this area was my advisor who was also the head of the Information Technology Department. He gave me a chance to further my advancement in the computing and engineering field by encouraging me to join the high school robotics club.
With that encouragement, I became a member of the high school robotics club since my freshman year. The club has multiple areas of interest pertaining to the engineering and technology fields, allowing me to experience and try out these different aspects. I have been able to try out both mechanical and computer engineering through the club. I decided to focus more on the computing aspects as well as wiring. I discovered that I really enjoyed those areas because of their formulaic properties as well as the complex problems you have to
