Undergraduate / 'it is a joy to be in school' - CU- Boulder Background Essay [9]
Prompt: Some student have a background or story that is so central to their Identity that they believe their application would be incomplete without it. If this sounds like you, then please share your story.
I am sorry I feel like a total noob when it comes to this, any help will be appreciated thank you so much for taking the time :) Thank You!
Ever since I was young I had the thirst for knowledge, I wanted to excel in everything that revolved around school. The youngest of seven, I learned that family would be everything. My family would teach me math at a young age, and teach me how to read and write. At age seven I received my first computer from my older brother.
The computer is what sparked my brain to learn even more and at a faster pace. I had knowledge on my fingertips, the internet was an amazing world. When I was eight I got into trouble because I got a test from a locked system ahead of time. I did this through figuring out what system the elementary school had and it was an original testing corporation, I figured a way to log in and sign in to it. Some say computers and life does not mix because it is time consuming, but the truth is I find my peace when I am on my computer doing my work.
As the years passed and life moved on computers have become a bigger priority in not only my life but societies as well. When I look I always see computer, phones, and tablets all over. In sixth grade I decided computer science is the major I want. I not only want a major but I want a PH.D in computer science.
I have done my preparation since then by taking the rigorous courses such as Calculus, Biology, Chemistry, and Literature. I do not find the joy of passing or sliding through school, what I strive for is the challenge in life. The challenge will lie ahead of me and I am ready for it.
Coming into college intrigues me a lot. Why? Because it is a joy to be in school, and to further my education and to see how my life will play out.
