A High-Tech Forte
If my friends or relatives were asked to describe my interests and hobbies, most of them would say that I love music and sports. That's probably what most people would perceive from me. However, one thing that not many people know about me is that I love building and repairing computers. Ever since I learned how to build my own computer back in eighth grade, I've since then grown interest in computers. I've never taken a computer class of any kind, but the internet taught me everything I know about computers. As my computer knowledge grew, I became my household's computer tech, and everyone would always come to me for computer assistance.
Now as I think about what I want to do with my life, I have decided that I wanted computers to be a part of it. While I'm aiming for a career as an IT, the opportunities with computers are endless. Since technology advances everyday, our society's dependence on computers grows everyday, and it's foolish to think that the future of our nation alone will not live alongside computer technology. Even after college, I'll be learning about new technology every day, but at the same time be helping other people.
Whether it's playing games, editing movies, or surfing the net; computers are a big part of my hobbies. Consequently, I will be able to wake up every morning knowing that I will have a solid day ahead of me. I really feel like this is the field I belong in. Despite the fact that it's something I have been able to naturally develop, studying computers in college will definitely broaden my horizons.
Thanks in advance!
