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.

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.

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.

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).
