Undergraduate / Why Information and Decision Science essay [3]
Hi! I'm applying as an international student to UIC and I really need a help on an essay about why am I choosing this major/minor. I read this essay a few times and it sounds bad in my head.. Thanks for help.
Why Information and Decision Sciences?
From an early age, I have been ardent about new technologies. It's all begun with my grandfather's occupation - he's an electrician. Since I was little he had made me very interested in a technology. I remember being 4 years old and watching him working on a circuit board; it always had my admiration. Later that year I wrote a letter to my aunt who lived in United States asking for a Tamagotchi toy that I really wanted and couldn't get in Poland. When i finally got it, it was my first touch with a latest technology and got me very excited. Moreover, the toy was constantly in use what probably explains why that it broke after a few weeks.
My grandpa was also the person that gave me my first PC when I was 7. As the time came by, my PC's hardware got old and it needed to be replaced. I found a PC that I wanted but unfortunately it was too expensive. My mom and grandpa agreed to help me pay half of a price, but I still had to figure out how to make almost $150 as 10 years old girl. Fortunately, that was a time when friendship bracelets were very trendy at my school. Everyone has been buying embroidery floss at a craft shop just next to our school and the vendor almost doubled the price of it. As my mom had owned a shoe shop, she had an access to a wholesale shop. She offered to lend me money for a few packs of embroidery floss which I sold to my friends with almost 100% profit. Within a few weeks I gave my mom back the borrowed money and I earned almost $150 from my little business! The next day we went to get my dream PC. Years later, when picking a high school, I decided to choose a school that was one year longer than an usual high school and more intense. Alongside my high school diploma I got an Associate's degree in Communication and Information Technology. I found Information and Decision Sciences to be the perfect choice for me that would provide me with a lot of job opportunities and also connect the fields of interest I like the most - IT and economy.
