I chose computer science because it will enable me to learn skills that will equip me
with the knowledge to write and understand programs needed to advance human
technological advancement.
I will be looking for jobs in software engineering, artificial intelligence research,
robotics science, and similar. These are the fields my education and skills will be best
suited for, and not only will I be doing what I have always wanted to do, I hopefully will
get the opportunity to contribute to human technological advancement.
My long-term goal is to be settled in a fulfilling career and home life. Careerwise, I
hope one day to be counted among the world's great innovators and industrialists.
I enjoy playing computer games with friends spread all over the world, listening to
music, hanging out with friends, and volunteering with Project Cure whenever in
Houston.
