College Admissions Essay: A Career As A Computer Engineer
Many people have dreams and goals. I have put a lot of thought into my goals throughout my short life and only recently have I found my calling. For example, I want love to minor in music and major in agriculture. I want to attend Fresno State Or Cal. Poly. Once I am finished with high school. My dream job is to become a agriculture computer engineer.
It has always been my goal to be an engineer ever since I can remember. However it hasn't always been a clear choice to become an computer engineer, let alone in a agricultural field. When I first really began to get a clear view of what kind of engineer I was going to be was in the beginning of my sixth grade year. My cousin who was in the Airforce, came home to visit after being stationed …show more content…
With this new realization, I also realized I never really wanted to be a Aerodynamics Engineer. It was just me getting caught up in a world wind of excitement and wonder and not realizing just how much it took to become something like that. It was soon after this, I decided that instead of an aerodynamics engineer, I'd be a computer technician. As I had always had a knack for electronics, whenever something that ran off of a battery or power source went array, I could always fix it when everyone else's attempts failed. Naturally it seemed like a perfect fit to me to try and major in a career I like and I am good at, if only I'd have known that the summer would bring a big move three hours away and with it yet another goal change. The move saw me travel from the quaint little tourist town of Cambria just minutes from the beach, to a much larger and more robust town of Porterville where the nearest beach was three and half hours drive …show more content…
The biggest changes were being in a school with a minimum of 2200 students and the heavy agricultural influence. My first week was uneventful with the exception of getting to know my new school. It wasn't until the fourth week of school when my agricultural science teacher, Mrs. Brown took me and my several others from my class to a "Green Hand Conference" where we learned about team work, but, most importantly, about all the different career paths in agriculture, including computer engineering. I was unsure at first but as the day went on, I was getting more and more hooked on the idea. However, being slightly wiser than I had in similar situations in the past I realized I am now in high school and that I should really only set a goal I am going to follow through with, because it could be my major
