Our world is advancing rapidly with technology that is allowing humankind to stay connected, aid in times of dire need, help the disabled, and provide entertainment among many other uses. Technological innovations and their innovators have made a lasting impact and have reshaped the world as we know it. I was born in the technological era, the “internet generation,” and we are among the first to know web and computing technology since our birth. This technological revolution has fascinated me since a young age and continues to awe and inspire me to this day. I aspire to contribute to the evolution of technology that will further revolutionize our world.
When I think of someone who set a precedent for the future of technology, I think of the person who has surely affected the majority of our lives. Steve Jobs was a visionary who set an example for the rest of the world with his perfection in joining the technology with the humanities. By creating products that utilize both the power and speed of computing technology and the innovation of the human mind, Apple has set into motion the future of computing and engineering technology. Apple products are making our lives efficient and providing tools to serve our needs. This is the sort of revolution that I want to be a part of and hope to advance. I believe the best way to become involved is by participating in the studies of computer science. Throughout high school, I have made an effort to engage myself with the skills that will be needed of me in studies that will require advanced levels of thinking and reasoning. Mathematical skills have always come naturally to me and my high school studies show that I am capable of handling rigorous studies in this field. By the end of my senior year, I will have completed Pre-AP Algebra 1 through Advanced Placement BC Calculus. Mathematical reasoning is an important skill that I have worked to master. These skills will allow me to understand the logic behind programming and how to apply it to specific uses. Mathematics has been my strongest subject throughout high school and is my favorite area of study. I have also taken many challenging science courses that have made me look deeper into the workings of the world around us. By the end of senior year, I will have taken courses ranging from Pre-AP Biology my freshman year to AP Physics 2 my senior year. With the emphasis on Physics, I hope to have a greater understanding of concepts that I may need when studying the hardware components of computers and future collaboration with engineers. I have also made sure to take the advanced and college level courses offered by the English and History departments each year to further my knowledge of those concepts as well. By taking challenging courses in high school, especially those in the Mathematics and Science categories, I am preparing myself for a college workload and greater understanding of concepts that I will be required to learn. During my freshman year, I participated on the robotics team working with both hardware and software development. The curriculum allowed us to explore the process that had to be taken in order to construct and run a functioning robot. The main project for the year was our participation in the Texas BEST competition. This gave us an opportunity to experience real life situations, like meeting deadlines and establishing the management, that we would experience in the “real world.” It was my second experience on a robotics team, the first in middle school, and it helped me confirm that computing and engineering technology was to be …show more content…
It has allowed me to exercise both my creative and technical sides and has strengthened my ability to notice and correct flaws. I have learned the importance of teamwork and experienced the camaraderie of a close-knit group of people working toward specific goals. The directors have also instilled a sense of trying to reach perfection in everything that we do. It will be a very rewarding and memorable time with seven years of participation after my senior year. All of these lessons that I have learned and experienced are important to any career, and will be beneficial when handling my
