I initially selected to pursue Computer Science on a whim. I have a lot to thank my past self for that. Although I struggled intensively in the beginning, I never wanted to change my major. I took a break off during a semester and reassessed exactly what I wanted to achieve with a CS degree.
At first, I wanted to focus on game development then bioinformatics then computational economics (this is where I added my second major: Economics) then web development (this is due to my web internship) and finally I know with clarity what I want to do: I want to develop technologies and applications to aid in a sustainable future. I believe plenty of our world’s problems can be tackled if we focus on environmental issues.
In terms of skills I hope to develop, I hope to improve my attitude while being under pressure. I typically don’t do well on assessments becuase of the pressure that comes with it and through working on WODs I hopw to develop a sense of calm. Additionally, I hope to improve my skills in desiging and writing code. Clear concise design/code is incredibly important especially in the working field.
