“The ones who are crazy enough to think they can change the world, are the ones who do,” stated by the late Steve Jobs, founder of Apple computers. Typically, most people are afraid of change, but I welcome it because it has the ability to enhance everyday life. To me the thought of change is exciting and I feel the possibilities in computer technology are endless. Thinking about my current and future aspirations and my passion for computers drives me to educate others. In the past two years, I have been able to accomplish some amazing things within the industry which makes me realize I have a chance to make a difference in the world.
While in high school, I took a computer programming class. During that time, I was able to get my feet wet …show more content…

I have an amazing team to put it all together and an advisor, Professor George Corser that has a unique ingenious mind set to steer our organization on the right path. Just a couple months ago, I attended an event at the University of Michigan called MHacks 6. MHacks is a 36-hour code-a-thon that 1500 students from all around the world go to and compete. There are over 10 different competitions you can participate in and the competition my team participated in was, "Best Use of Expedia's API." For this, we created FlightBook; FlightBook is a web application that takes the top 100 vacation spots in North America and compares them to the cheapest Expedia packages. For example, let’s say I live in Detroit and you live in Seattle and we are best friends that want to go on vacation, but we don’t know where to go and we want to go somewhere cheap! Overall, FlightBook finds you the cheapest and best vacation spot in North America for you and your friend(s) (We have it programmed up to 9 friends and yourself). This was a pretty slick idea, Expedia loved it, and we were pleased to win their competition! After the MHacks event, I realized SVSU students are missing out on competitions and how other colleges have such talented students that come to events like this. With my proposition, I will make an impact at SVSU at start a whole new trend that could change the whole future of SVSU; the

I had always worked with computers but had never considered how they worked. I found the material fun and engaging. I felt as though I could create anything from the cascading amplifiers used in radios to the IR trip alarm that I made in the class as a side project. I kept asking myself why more people did not do things like this, how many more people were missing out on this great discovery that was given to me, through the instruction of the TCAT Newbern campus. During my stay at the Newbern campus, I placed second in the State for electronics, had achieved my CompTIA A+ and CompTIA Net+, through just ONE class alone.

Consequently, newer technologies and their implementation in people’s lives allow for such an immediate response they give to the user of the technology. In “Project Classroom Makeover,” Davidson discusses how she had her class at Duke try to come up with a new inventive way of using the new technology of the time, an iPod. Davidson discussed this when she stated, “we would be giving out free iPods to every member of the entering first-year class, there were no conditions. We simply asked students to dream up learning applications […] and we invited them to pitch their ideas to the faculty” (49). Giving these students free range on the application of the devices for an educational purpose, it provided them an environment where they can use their individual strengths to solve a problem at hand.

I’ve known since a young age that computers hold a special sway over me- even as a child perched on my uncle’s lap, I loved watching him type programs on his boxy computer with half the memory space as the computer I program on now. The most mesmerizing aspect of computers, to me, was the way their games brought people in and how much everyone loved their stories and characters. It’s been my goal ever since I learned that, yes, people make those games, to become a software developer capable of inventing worlds within a disk. The issue with making content everyone loves, of course, is figuring out what everyone wants and sometimes even changing it. This is probably the biggest struggle I 've seen my classmates face, we 've become such a fact and skill-oriented generation that we 've overlooked being able to talk to people.

When I was little, every electronic I touched would break. Whether I was lured in by the promise of free wallpapers on the Internet or just playing a little too hard with the Playstation 2, it would all topple by my tiny hands. Yet, as I learned HTML with my friends in middle school to make a Pokémon fansite, as I shambled apart the family Wii to fix the disc drive, and as I took my first dual credit class in Visual Basic at Otterbein University, I fell head over heels for computers and the future they held for me in their convoluted wires, a future I continue to grasp at today. Time ticks on, and a new future is in store for me: an uncertain one by the name of “college.” I wanted a place where I could not only pursue my newfound passions but also add my own two cents to a diverse community.

The Pull It was gratifying to see how often friends and family cited characteristics that pull others towards me, most notably being humble and a role model because it is often hard to gauge your effect on others. However, I was honored to hear from multiple people that my impact has largely been one of positivity. For example, each year in our high school soccer program an older veteran player is paired with a younger athlete to help integrate them into the school. Throughout the season my younger “buddy” truly became my number one fan, and I knew that it was my responsibility for my actions and character to reciprocate her devotion to this relationship. As a result, I always strived to show her how much I care in whatever way possible.

My goal within the Business Administration field is to be in the top levels of management of a major retailer, and then move forward to owning my own business. With experience in a major administration position, I plan to use the knowledge gained and systems I develop to run my retailer in 10 years. As my Rational temperament is described by the Keirsey Temperament Sorter, “Masterminds usually rise to positions of responsibility, for they work long and hard and are dedicated in the pursuit of their goals…” (Rational Portrait of the Mastermind (INTJ), n.d.). I also am focused on efficiency which, in my opinion, is the basis for maintaining profitability in any business.

I remember that, as a young girl, I experienced a lot of academic shame throughout my elementary years of school. My primary language is Spanish, and I must admit that school was very difficult for me as a child for this reason. I started school when I was five years old, and I did not know any English. This made it very difficult for me to perform basic activities, complete school assignments, and do homework. I tried very hard to comprehend, speak, and write the language, but I failed to do so every time I tried.
