Hello! I’m an aspiring computer programmer. I’m what you might call a man child, and I have a natural affinity for anything to do with computers. My skills include not just math, but programming. It’s what helped me with languages. It allowed me to learn skills that are not taught in school.
Computer programming is something I’ve always excelled at and it shows. I can calculate if things are weighing to kg, change a formula to calculate total water and tail end of the equation and increase ease of change for those times if any, rearrange a notation to make it more legible, present, read faces in pictures I didn’t have before, manipulate pictures to get what I want and my ability to quickly see thru programs made me an outcast in my family. As much as I might put myself in the “outcast” category, I have always felt a strong urge to get the fastest speeds.
I think all programmers think this way. A programmer must have skills to produce the first version of a program faster than those which are in place. To me, simple programming is not good enough. Thinking that there’s an objective that someone wants to beat allows me to focus my energies. When one thinks, looks, plans and writes requires one who wants to succeed with the whole thing. A programmer starts out by successfully fulfilling the objective.
Before my curiosity won me over, the way I looked at things pre-math, played cards, focused on linear algebra, can solve equations, solve mind altering problems, solved logical problems, played all kind of softball. I can say I’m good at a lot. There are so many things I am good at that I know I should be an above average candidate for an art director. My problem is this: I don’t really know how to apply for jobs. How do I create a résumé that supports me? Once I find out, I’ll be selling myself hard. Why would anyone offer me something if I’m not good at it? I try to keep my eyes and feet as much on the job market as I can and market myself and try to have as many connections as possible with the higher ups.
It is obvious that computer programming has a bright future and I hope to contribute to this. I would want to focus on computer engineering so much that I become obsessed with it, so much that I cannot see beyond the screens I’m designing. That is to me what I aspire to become. The things that I want to do are very constructive and I am confident that they will be successful in their respective fields.
Thank you! My career path in the future as an engineer will be your life’s and I know I will help me in this respect.
