    I want to be a software developer because I love the opportunity it gives me to become successful in life while doing something I enjoy doing. Software development is something that puts my mind to work. It feels good making and developing a product and having that sense of accomplishment when it comes out the way you want. I hope to be challenged and hope to have a good time.

    I want to become a software developer because I would like to help support individuals who don't have a clear understanding of Software Development. I want to separate myself from the average person and add this skill to my resume; this opportunity will distinguish me in the future by giving me the chance to impact the world through software D=development. Software Development will allow me to assist individuals globally and not limit me to helping those in my community. My hobbies of playing multiple sports such as basketball, baseball, and track have helped me develop a great work ethic and a hardworking mentality that allows me to push beyond the point of expectation with intestinal fortitude. I possess the will to always do my best and attempt to succeed at everything I do. Some successes I've had include the opportunity I was given to take the SAT in the 7th grade by being selected for the DukeTIP program (2018-19). Other accomplishments include Honor Roll, Most Valuable Player (2019-20), and a host of athletic awards.

    I would love to become a software developer because my biggest dream and future business is that I will create will be a digital supermarket. I want to play a leading part in the supermarket business and the digital world. One hobby that I perform currently is football, in which I am a starting defensive end. I haven’t been challenged with any of my core classes throughout my life, and I continuously receive awards for countless things such as honor roll, player of the month, top 5 athletic freshmen, etc.

    Coding and cybersecurity have both been very interesting topics to me. Working on my cyber security comptia+ certification as a sophomore has given me the ability to learn a lot about my connection to cybersecurity, and it’s really been enjoyable so far. Perusing a pathway in coding will allow me to become qualified in both cyber and coding.

    I wish to become a software developer for many reasons, but the main is to achieve a goal I have which is to become a Roblox developer for a game that I want to create soon. An impact I want to have on the world is to create something enjoyable & fun for others to learn & experience, whether it’s involved in the real world or virtual. I wanted to make something creative or do something that inspired me a lot, so technology was something that I enjoyed a lot as a kid & now. :)

    I wish to become a software developer because I love playing games. Video Games are fun, cool and if it is a good video game, you are guaranteed to make big money. This will be an excellent opportunity to have a head start for college. The impact I would want to have on this world is to make gaming fun for everyone and give money to help the homeless get on their feet.

  • Thomas

    Hi, I'm Thomas. I'm currently a sophomore and was born and raised in Dallas, TX. Programming and development are some of my favorite things when it comes to hobbies. Computers are extremely fascinating and enable us to break barriers we thought couldn't be broken. There is so much potential in computers; they already have and will continue to benefit humanity. That's why I want to develop software to help other people. Apart from computers, Chess and FIFA make up a large part of my pastime. Some significant accomplishments I've done were teaching myself python, scoring top 1% on the PSAT, and ranking top 1% in my high school.

    I want to become a software developer to improve the lives of others through the various projects I'm working on. I want to be a person who made a difference, not just for society but also for individuals. Many people lose their chance to make an impact, and I want to be able to give those people that second chance. My hobbies include writing, playing video games, modding (coding modifications for PC video games), coding, drawing, and sculpting.
