Pursuing A Degree In Computer Science Personal Statement

For as long as I can remember, I have been interested in computers. Many pictures of me as a baby, sitting in front of an old desktop PC support this. In elementary school, I remember helping other students and teachers with their computer issues, even going around the school helping teachers in other grade levels when they needed it throughout the day.

As that desktop got older, it began having problems, which caused me to fix the issues as they arose, learning much about computer

Recently, for example, I went to talk to my school counselor about college applications. As we were talking, she mentioned she was having issues with her printer. Since she knew I had been taking several computer classes and was interested in engineering, she asked me if I could help, and I quickly resolved her printer issues. After this, she recommended IUPUI to me, since she had visited the campus and knew about the great computer engineering programs offered. I promptly pulled out my laptop and began researching IUPUI, filling out the application shortly after. At IUPUI, I would like to continue to pursue my passion in computers, working with both computer hardware and software to resolve issues that exist in modern computing. I would also like to find a group of like-minded people and create a computer repair group to help others with their computer issues for free, and educate them in the process. My main goal after graduation is to create a computer repair business that charges as little as possible, as I want to help people with their computer issues, using my knowledge for the betterment of
