Tell us a little bit about yourself and your plans for college.

I am proud to say that I am one of the very small percent of people who are able to call themselves Eagle Scouts. The Eagle Scout Award is the Boy Scouts of Americas highest rank award that can be achieved and it requires hours of planning, service, and preparation to complete. I could talk for hours about it, but there is a subject that I, and others, find more interesting. I love computers. From their hardware to the software, everything about computers fascinates me. While I'm sadly not a very technical and hands-on person, I do lean more towards the digital aspects. I love to program, design websites, and create games (albeit very low quality) on computers. I have taken 3 years of computer science courses, only skipping a year because my school didn't offer anymore. I have learned languages like HTML, Python, Java, and a little bit of CSS. As such, I plan to further my interest and curiosity in this subject into college. I plan to study Computer Science and either Mathematics or Physics in college. I would love to have a focus in Software Engineering if possible, but I do understand that, depending on the college I go to, I might not be able. By now many of you must have noticed that I added a bit extra onto my major choice previously. Another thing about me is that I enjoy Mathematics and Physics as well. As my AP Calculus and Physics teacher could tell you, I may ground a lot while doing it but I always push through to the end. I enjoy the simplicity of math and physics and how there is (almost) always an answer. I think that is another thing that helps me to enjoy computer science as well. While math is very rigid, computer science is very flexible. While all outcomes that run the program correctly are correct, there are many ways to go about it. I enjoy the duality that these subjects bring, and how despite there differences they can still combine and become something awesome.
