Recommended: Introduction to computers

1. How were you first introduced to CS? How have you continued to develop your technical skills and seek additional exposure to the field? - I would say my first introduction to CS was in high school. I have always loved messing with computer ever since I was little. In high school, I took a web design class which I thought was very interesting. My school held an hour of coding event which was sponsored by Google which I was able to be a part of. I knew ever since then that I wanted to be a programmer of some sort. I continue to seek additional exposure to the field by going to events that deal with computer science. I also look at internships and apply to some of them. It’s hard to get one because of little experience I have, but it doesn’t stop me from trying. I also like to when I can, help those who need extra assistance with their code.

My mother who was a single mother has been raising me on her own since I was born. My dad has been in and out of my life due to being incarcerated. The thing that makes me unique is my motivation and dislike for sympathy. When I set my mind to something, I tend to see it out. I didn’t come from a wealthy background so I didn’t get to experience some of luxury things that my peers did. I didn’t let that stop me from achieving success.

    Head to head hits are still a prevalent issue in the Nfl. Should head to head hits lead to an ejection from the game?

    Fieldwork is important to anthropologists in order to understand cultures different from their own. It combines theory and ethnography and involves 'questions', 'assumptions', 'methods' and 'evidence' (Barnard, 2000). According to Jenkins (1994) fieldwork is an effective way to gain knowledge, while using qualitative and quantitative methods that allow the researcher to identify principal actors, behaviors, local explanations, use of language, values, stories and myths. However, one may face some challenges in the field, including resistance to outsider's presence, rapid changes in policies, violence, strikes, misunderstandings, cultural shocks, among others (LeCompte and Schensul 2010). Thus, being open, perceptive, flexible and objective the anthropologist could build trust and confidence, two essential values to open doors
