Before the start of my fourth year of high school, I would not have known what I wanted to choose as a major in college, but after talking to people who know me well, I have decided one major I am majorly interested in, and that is Computer Science.

Frankly, I do not have much experience with Computer Science. However, a lack of experience does not equate to a lack of interest. Before my journey in search for majors, I have never considered Computer Science; the one slight idea I had about my future, with hesitance and self-doubt, was becoming a designer. I knew I wanted to innovate and solve problems in the world ranging from daily, miscellaneous struggles to global issues, but I was not sure whether designing was the best choice for me …show more content…

Computer Science caught my attention because it is a field that requires creativity and scientific, mathematical, logical abilities -- skills I possess and wish to include in my future studies and career. My personal encounters with and research about Computer Science manifests that it is a very versatile tool that can be utilized to accomplish countless amazing goals, for instance, creating user-friendly websites, useful applications, and enjoyable games or aiding scientific research by creating systems and software. Of course, there are many other equally amazing applications of Computer Science; I will not list them all here, but this is one of the reasons why I have become so fascinated by Computer Science in such short time. More about Computer Science that fascinates me is how rapidly the technology progresses. For one example, Artificial intelligence started in the late 1950s, starting out with a just an idea of creating an artificial brain, to the present time, where machines are coded to be able to learn human faces and predict their ages. Enabling a machine to learn human faces is already quite exciting on its own, but thinking about what can be accomplished in the future multiplies that

During World War II, propaganda posters were a powerful tool used by governments to mobilize their populations and garner support for the war effort. In this essay, I will analyze and evaluate three British propaganda posters from this era, focusing on the persuasive techniques used to encourage people to join the fight. The first poster encourages women to join the workforce, the second poster encourages men to enlist in the RAF, and the third poster emphasizes the importance of national service. These posters played a critical role in shaping public opinion and rallying support for the war effort.

As a computer science student, I have always been fascinated by the idea of creating something from nothing, and the limitless potential that technology has to offer. I started my academic journey at Riverside City College, where I was able to gain a solid foundation in computer science and develop my programming skills. However, I have always felt that I was not reaching my full potential and that I needed to continue my education at a university where I could further develop my skills and knowledge. This is why I have decided to transfer to the University of Southern California. My primary reason for transferring to USC is to be part of a community of like-minded individuals who are passionate about technology and its potential to change the world.

What interests you about your selected program of study? Computer science has always been the aspect of study that has grabbed my attention from a young age. CS always created a sense of awe in me because of the fact that individual people, with a firm understanding of CS, could completely manipulate technology into whatever creation they wanted. In the same way an artist can paint on a canvas, computer scientist can create through code and each program carries a sense of the programmer with it. The more you learn about CS the more uses it gains, making it a tool that builds upon itself.

I want to pursue computer science as my major because I want to expand my knowledge about coding and programming so I can initiate a nonprofit. My nonprofit will consist of teaching minority students with limited or no access to computers; how to use them to be productive and have fun. They will learn how to code, program, build firewalls, and computer literacy. Within my nonprofit I want the kids to create video games, websites, apps, etc. I believe that with my major I can help close a digital divide between technology and people with limited or no access to technology.

While life-long learning exposes you to new possibilities of improvements, it also excels you in your areas of expertise. Knowledge is never enough and you can never be satisfied with what you learn because there is always new stuff to learn. It is never too late or too soon to learn. Whatever skills a person acquire can last for life-long, but the same skills will not be applied in the workforce for life-long. An article by Coleman supports that learning isn’t simply about earning degrees or attending storied institutions (Coleman, 2017).

There have been many things that have led to the decision for a major. One of the largest influences was taking the engineering classes, offered here at Marion High School.
