Back in the seventh grade, my class completed a college research project. Knowing that I have no idea what I want to major in I take one of those “what-major-is-right-for-you-test” and end up with computer science. So now I have a major, but what college would I choose? Enter google. Carnegie Mellon consistently appeared in the top 5 schools and I was immediately drawn to it. Sure, MIT, Stanford, and Harvard were there but I was looking for a school I didn’t know a whole lot about - and Carnegie Mellon fit that bill.
Carnegie Mellon was my ideal as soon as I completed the research project. When I learned about the prestige of the university, I instantly became interested. Visiting campus, I was drawn to the design of the buildings as well as the the personal and welcoming feeling I received from the faculty and students. Research done at the university is revolutionary and the students love what they do.

Rapidly changing technology is a driving force in society. Knowing a computer’s inner workings and functionality have always piqued my interest. Understanding how they work is vital for today’s society. Without this knowledge, there would be no way for computers to improve thus causing society to remain relatively stagnant.
After I obtain my computer science degree, I would like to go on to become a software engineer. Software construction is what allows humans to do many different functions on their computers. Microsoft office? Software. Google Chrome? Software. Without software on computers we would be stuck with a monofunctional device sitting in front of
