Angel's Landing - Zion National Park, UT
As I was applying to colleges my junior year of high school, I didn't have a clue what I wanted to study. My mom had suggested I study computer science because I was "so good with computers." I wasn't conviced that being a little tech savvy, helping my mom set up her computer, and resolving other technical issues would translate into the field of computer science. After a lot more searching and talking to friends and family, I set my sights on physical therapy school.
I went through my undergraduate days admiring, but not thinking too much about computer science. I had friends that were taking computer science classes and friends that were computer science majors and from our conversations, it didn't seem that great, in fact, in seemed pretty tough. But, finally, my senior year of college, I couldn't help but give into my mom's (and other's) advice to try a computer science class. I had room in my schedule, so why not? Turns out, it's pretty fun!
So this past year, I tried my hand at two Python-based computer science classes, you can click here to see some of the programs I've written!
