Hi everyone! Here is my USC supplemental essay (the main essay). I really do appreciate in you taking your time to read and edit this essay. Please do not hesitate if you have any questions, comments, or concerns regarding this paper. I really appreciate it! In return I will edit your essays too! Thanks!
Describe your academic interests and how you plan to pursue them at USC. Please feel free to address your first- and second-choice major selections.
I remember that my first encounter with a computer was when my father first bought me a Windows 98, when I was only seven years old. Since then, my fascination for computer technology has transformed, and amplified itself into a passion. With the combination of my interest for computers and the mathematics, I am confident that computer science will be the perfect major for me. Learning about codes can help me grasp the concept of how a computer can function. Using the Christian analogy of when God created the universe, I am hoping that my mentors and fellow students can help me "type" life into a computer.
I am confident that the Viterbi School of Engineering will offer me a specialized training with computers that other schools cannot. In fact, I am looking forward to joining in clubs that will engage in collaboration with other students that share the same passion as I do for computers. It will be an honor being part of the modernist vanguard for technology and calling them my friends. Stated earlier, the classes I look forward in taking at USC are cryptography and video game development. These two subjects that have piqued my interest after watching many television/movies related to computers, and spending time playing video games on my Xbox 360. Hopefully, by studying these courses, this can further enhance my passion for computers, and who knows, I can either be a video game designer or a cryptologist. Either way, it opens doors for me in my future, and I will be happy with whichever path I choose.
As for my second-choice major, I do not have one; I have selected to study television/movie production as my minor. Considering the fact that USC offers a class on media production right at the center of a city that values entertainment, I decided that I should take advantage of this. Producers today use computer technology create movies using computer-editing programs. I wish to gain more knowledge of the relationship between computer technology and media production. Not only do I admire computers and video games, I also value movies and television as a hobby. I have often been curious how media production worked, which is why I joined my church's media team. Being part of this group for some time, they have helped me grasp a basic idea of how to produce movies. But I need to gain more experience, which is why I choose to minor in this subject upon entering USC. Like computer science, I am going to join clubs pertaining to this minor, and upon graduation, I will have the skills necessary to go out into the world and live out the rest of my life as a connoisseur of computer technology and entertainment.
They say that your pursuit is your proof of desire. In pursuing USC to be my school of choice, I know that the result will yield a desire to study computer science as my major, and television/movie production as my minor. Looking at the impressive programs that USC has to offer their students, I know that I will truly belong. I want to be in a school along with my fellow students who share the same passion as I do for computers, video games, and media. Throughout the rest of my life, I will continue to learn through my own experiences, learn what life has given me, and I will also offer my own unique perspective to the world and the people around me.
