Undergraduate / Georgia tech supplemental essay - Why GATEch? and "be comfortable being uncomfortable" questions [6]

Even though I decided that I want to major in Computer Science, I did not decide about which path I want to join. I am currently interested in three different fields of Computer Science. Those are cyber security, game development, big data, and software development. I want to decide the specific field I want to go by taking Computer Science classes in GATech. GATech's various career programs such as BS/MS five-year program, Global Internship program, and Co-ops will also help me to decide my career. Also, there are lots of clubs in GATech that are related to Computer Science-HackGT, GreyHat, VGdev, Georgia Tech Big Data Club-will help me to use the contents I learned from school in real world. Other than the clubs about Computer Science, there are immense clubs for sports, music, and other activities. GATech will help me to balance college life while deciding my career.

I revised the first one. I removed my motto part and talked about the career more seriously.

Thanks a lot @okorobiadimma14. I was worrying about my writing so much and your explanation really helped me. I will try to avoid using however in preceding and succeeding sentences. Also, can I post my revised essay in this thread? because I do not know about Essayforum rules well.

Thank you @Holt and I am sorry about posting two essays. I will only post one essay next time.

So by your feedback about first essay, should I talk about what I want to do in GATech by taking classes? For example, through GATech Global Internship Program, I want to see how other country's IT companies are and experience its culture.

Also, I am college level writing. As you know, my English is not really good. Whenever I read good common app essays or articles, I cannot distinguish whether they are high-level English. Do college level writing uses more advanced grammars?

Georgia Tech Questions

(150 words)

Beyond rankings, location, and athletics, why are you interested in attending Georgia Tech? (max 150 words)

Playing and studying hard are my main life motto. As I search more about Georgia Tech, I learned I can follow my motto. I saw Georgia tech have not only clubs for fun such as Seoulstice(Kpop dance club) and GTLOL(Video Game club), but also the clubs to improve student's skills such as VGdev(Video Game Devlopment club). Also, GATech gives opportunities for future paths: BS/MS Computer Science five year program, Co-op program, and internships during vacation. When I saw Global Internship Program, I was undoubtedly surprised about working abroad. I am currently agonizing about my career. I am interested in cyber security, game development, and software development. Therefore, I want to decide which field I want to go as I take Computer Science and Computing Information Internetworks classes and joining VGdev.

We challenge our students to "be comfortable being uncomfortable". Tell us about a time in high school that you felt outside of your comfort zone and the resolution. (150 words)

3. After coming to the U.S., I hated lunchtime in high school. I could not understand what or who my friends are talking about due to lack of English skills. I only laughed during their conversation. Most of time, I got an upset stomach after eating lunch so I only ate tiny amount. In Sophomore year, I made an excuse for not going lunch. People thought I am the hard-work student who sacrifice the lunch to study or don't like to be friend with them. I felt too uncomfortable about new community. However, when I became Junior, I realized I was overly frightened. I tried to memorize people's names and faces in my grade to join the conversation. I tried to be more active in clubs and classes. Now, I know most of people in my grade and got best friend. However, there is still awkwardness in lunch. However, by striving to understand the conversation, I reduced it.
