I decided to become a Computer Science major since I was in high school. I went to a gifted high school in Vietnam where everyone was extremely smart, and Computer Science was the only subject that I was better than my classmates. When it was time to apply for college, I decided to apply as a CS major, simply because I was good at it.

As I started taking more upper-division classes, I realized that it wasn't as easy as I thought. Just like everything else, once you go deeper into the field, it gets more difficult. But by this time, I already developed a strong relationship with it that I didn't want to switch out. I loved sitting in the labs for hours solving problems, debugging my code, and chatting with other CS students. It has become a part of my life. It makes me happy.

I know I still have a lot more to learn, but I will work hard to pursue my passion.
