Building my IT career

“The best way to predict the future is to create it” (Abraham Lincoln, n.d.). But, I cannot create my future unless I have dreamed of one. In this blog, I am going to discuss what I have achieved till now and what I expect to learn at the college that will help me transform to a person I have dreamed of becoming.

Being a bio student during my high school, I did not have opportunity to learn programming or anything else related to Computer Science. However, I did study Computer Science in my school level which helped me a lot to develop basic programming concepts and also to develop a foundation for Computer Science. Likewise, as speeches and presentations were part of weekly assignments in my high school, my written and spoken English were also improved and I know it is going to be quite handy in my projects and presentations at the college.

My freshman year, till now, has been going quite interesting. I have been learning many new things, be it basics of java, problem solving skills or presentation skills. In due course of time, I expect to learn more programming concepts and other fields of Computing like database management, operating systems, software engineering, etc. Not only knowledge in these fields but other skills such as dealing problems, personal development or study skills are also equally important to embrace success in future. Furthermore, to compete globally, good command over English is also an important aspect and I expect to polish my English even more during the course of my study.

Lastly, just the lone effort of teachers at the college is not enough; I have to work hard too. I feel that sky is the limit for learning when you have the desire. That reminds me of the quote “Study without desire spoils the memory, and it retains nothing that it takes in” (Leonardo da Vinci, n.d.)
