My freshman year of high school I wanted to be an engineer because it seemed like a good fit for me at the time. My class spent the majority of the time modeling three dimensional objects on computers, and I found that part to be more interesting than anything related to engineering. This class sparked not only my interest in computers, but it also sparked my interest in creating things. I began to look for ways to express my newfound desires, and I settled on the thing that came most naturally to me; I wanted to create a video game. Although I could not make games on the scale of the ones that I enjoyed playing with my brother growing up, I did commit to learn and do the best that I could. I studied and taught myself how to code so that I could build an app for the iOS App Store. I launched my first app by the end of my freshman year of high school. Now, by my senior year, I have created six apps and have plans for more in the future. Computer Science was the natural next step for me as it lines up with all my interests in programming and software
