I am glad i found this site; it seems pretty helpful. Please let me know what you guys think.
There I am standing in the Florida summer heat, sandwiched between numerous buildings, and in what seems to be a massive campus with no end in sight; I see hundreds of faces walking around, hauling bags, laptops, books, and Starbucks cups. Caroline, our "Admissions Ambassador" was presenting our group everything this great university had to offer. All I could think of was: "This is where I want to be." I was overwhelmed; the environment was amazing and it was completely different from what I was used to.
I attended Devry University where I got an Associate's degree in computer networking; the environment there was basically go to class, do your work, and go home. I was the youngest student in all my classes; I felt a sense of dullness every time I went to school. This was not exactly the kind of environment that I would feel very enthusiastic in; it was the complete opposite. I missed the school spirit, pep rallies, football games, and the overall vibrant environment I was used to in high school; I was also involved in student government, so I got to experience everything, and I loved it. The change from high school to Devry really got me down; however I'm a dedicated person and I always finish what I start, so I concentrated in finishing at Devry so I could move on.
I've always been an analytical, and problem solving person; this is what I believe led me to have a passion for computers and technology as a whole. I remember when my father purchased our first computer back when I was 10 years old; I actually researched several computers and made a decision from what I learned. Ever since that day, I have been a technology aficionado. From its beginning back when it was the Florida Technological University, UCF has always been a leader in engineering and technology; after all these were its founding goals.
In order to be successful you need to have a passion and love what you do; this has been proven numerous times. UCF offers everything I need in order to be successful; it has an impressive academic curriculum and the extraordinary environment to top it off.
