Title: How has your family, history, culture, or environment influenced who you are?
COMPUTER DISCOVERY ESSAY
I have always been fascinated by my mother's ambitious and resolute character and her capacious competence in a variety of disciplines. She has encouraged and pushed me to not just pursue my goals but always strive to do my best. I think the most obvious influence my mother has had on who I am, is that I have grown to have an on-going interest and thirst for education. She has instilled patience in me and so I am determined to put the spotlight on each thing in its own time, in order to accomplish my goals. As a result I have grown to become the determined and persistent man I am today.
When I was younger, I have always been curious and fascinated about how electronics work. I would take things apart such as a RC toy car or my mother's stereo, in order to figure out how they work. In the process I drove my mother crazy and usually ended up with non-functional Electronics and pieces all over the place.
After I discovered the computer, I immediately fell in love with it. With the advent of the Internet, I found out how to do stuff like develop web sites and etc.
While researching for a possible degree program that combines both Computer Engineering and Electronic Electronics, I discovered Electrical and Computer Engineering. I felt relieved. I knew from then that's what I'd not like, but love to do.
Title: Why did you choose to apply to UCF?
I believe the education offered here in Florida, at University of Central Florida is the best because of its strong academic curriculum. My desire to attend University of Central Florida has only gotten stronger the more I learned of it. There I will pursue my existing divers interests, explore new ones, and contribute meaningfully to the community. I know that no university will simply help me learn and grow. I must put in my own efforts and be prepared to do better than what I am expected to do. If that's the cost, I'm ready for the challenge.
