Being able to write about my early childhood memories of my first interest for computers has allowed me to become a stronger writer. The memories were vivid in my mind, but I had yet to put it all into words. Instead of letting those memories fade, the essay, “Computer Science: My First Spark”, allowed me to elaborate on how I chose my major. Describing this memory was very nostalgic and brought back positive memories. This paper sharpened my skills relating to reflecting on my experiences, developing sound arguments, and exploring previously unfamiliar ideas. The roots of my interest first stemmed when I first walked into that preschool classroom. Being able to eloquently put those early feelings into words helped me become a better writer.

Describing my shock from my discovery I wrote, “Who would have thought that one element in a large classroom would have a drastic effect on my future.” I thought I chose my major due to the fact that I enjoyed working with computers, but this paper revealed to me my initial
