I was dumbfounded to know that games are nothing but programs. Curious to know how to program I developed a serious interest in Computers. This keen interest in mathematics along with a strong liking for computers, and particularly programming, prompted me to choose engineering with Computer Science as my major. This decision gave me ample opportunity to consolidate my creative energies and harness my technical
I believe in the saying that through the serendipity of exploring oneself and intensive self-examination, one ends up making all sorts of unexpected discoveries. The saying seemed to have fittingly applied to me when I was advised by my counselor to explore the world outside of easy classes at my community college. Upon being convinced by my counselor’s gift of the gab, I was given opportunities to enroll into a fistful of programming classes focusing on basic C, Java and embedded system. Unexpectedly enough, I found myself taking pleasure in the wide variety of programming courses more than my major classes. I have always been fascinated with computer systems and networking since my childhood, but the process of learning computer science algorithms in undergraduate level classes was what vastly motivated me to dive into the field of computer science.
When I started my college career, I had an idea in mind. It was “I want a computer science degree!”, and I have to say, after this first term, that thought has not changed. I mean, not enough time has passed to consider changing major at this point. According to Clifton, Anderson & Schreiner (2006) “anywhere from 60 to 85% of entering college students change their major at least one” (p. 236). I hope not to be part of this statistic. I hope to continue on through with the major that I have chosen.
As a young child, I always had an interest in computers and how they work. As a kindergartener, my parents gave me their old computer; a large creamed colored monstrosity that was considered old even for its time. Despite this, I was amazed by the device and how it worked. This interest continued with me as I grew older and went through school. Throughout middle school, I learned more about computers and took every chance I could taking computer classes. In high school, I took part in my first computer science class and learn the basics of coding. Although this class was difficult I learned the basics of computer science and developed a love for computer science and coding. Throughout high school, I would take a computer science class every year and develop my coding skills. I hope that here I will be able to continue to work towards my degree and develop my skills as I work towards making a career out of computer science.
Who knew growing up would be so stressful. No one gave me advice on how to get through the rough times, I had to learn on my own. But nothing has or ever will stop me from achieving my goals. Most of my family didn't finish school, or got the chance to start college, but if I Lizette Mendoza finish high school and college, I would be the third person in the family to do so. I want to be that third person to make my parents proud.
My goal is to be in the business school of the college I attend and pursue a concentration in management or marketing.
Before focusing on information technology, I majored in Athletic Training. After failing two important courses for the major, I gave up and decided to study Art. During my senior year, I realized that I did not want to pursue a career in art, as it was more of a hobby. Instead of changing my major again, I decided to graduate on time and gain experience in the work force. After working for a few months, I enrolled in Towson University’s graduate program, majoring in Computer Science. I believe it was the lack of in-depth knowledge of computer systems at the time, which caused for me to not want to continue with the program. A year later, I looked into pu...
My hard work coupled with positive mindset rewarded me with a distinction of 87.33 percent of marks in my 10th grade examination.

As I am preparing for a new chapter in my life, I have put a lot thought in about what I want out of life and what to look forward to as I get older. In order for one to achieve anything, they need to set goals to reach for. I have a handful of goals for my future, short term and long term, that I will actively work towards in my college years and beyond. In my time at UW Eau Claire, I plan to be involved and engaged in student activities on campus. Being active will help me meet new people, build a better resume, and have fun at college. At UWEC, I would like to get involved in anything musical, along with various clubs and Greek life. Similarly, another goal of mine is to have a job on campus. Having a job will not only help me make some
I grew up idolizing my father who was one of the very select few in his graduation batch to be recruited by IBM. This might sound easy but he had to acrobat through rounds of aptitude and IQ tests before being accepted as junior programmer. While growing up, it was his profession that gave me the opportunity to sit beside him and watch him write codes in languages that looked a lot like English but yet came across as French. Codes written by humans that made the computers perform tasks at lightning speeds was mesmerizing for a young boy. My interest in technology, particularly personal computers, increased as I grew and by the age of eleven, I started to develop small programs of my own in Basic, Fortran and Pascal.
