Personal Statement: My Interest In Computer Science

Improved Essays
My interest in computer science kindled when I started playing games long time ago. I have imagined a kind of game that existed in real life, in which we had all the senses and broke the screen. As I grew older, I learned that all the games were programmed with machine languages. And therefore, when I had the chance to select my major before the university, I chose Computer Science without any doubt or hesitation.
During my undergraduate study at Iowa University, what I learn most are basic languages and algorithms, but some of the advanced courses and self-learning make me feel that computer science demonstrate the essence of natural science - evolution. For example, the development of website from static to dynamic, the progress of the sense

Virtual reality is not a new concept, and the origins can be traced as far as Ivan Sutherland’s “The Ultimate Display”. As what she said in her paper “The screen is a window through which one sees a virtual world. The challenge is to make that world look real, act real, sound real, feel real.” I could not agree more. I wish that I could be part of the members who are devoted in developing this tantalizing technology. Thus, I seek to dedicate my studies at Stony Brook to developing my skillset design a way to enhance the synchronic interaction between virtual and reality. To accomplish this goal, I believe enrolling and graduating from the Master in Graphic and Visualization program at Stony Brook is an important milestone in my …show more content…
It provides a friendly learning atmosphere for international students. My personal interest is in Virtual Reality, for which I taught myself basic graphics and Maya, and wish to further them in my graduate study.

    There have been many advances in videogames starting from the simple “pong” to very complex and graphically insane “Battlefield 1”. Millions of players play video games with some games having at least a half million playing at one time. Video games are progressing at a very rapid rate and now with the popularization of Virtual reality and Augmented reality, it’s making it possible for you to enter a new world straight from your couch. I would have fallen for this to escape into a different reality; playing “Forza Horizon 3”, makes me not want to think about what’s going on in the world but to just pay attention to what’s going on with my computer-generated car.

    An unusually fragile underclassman: devoid of faith and fearful of a new environment brimming with the cold embrace of the unknown. “What do you like about yourself?” Sitting in the audience, listening to an assembly during my freshman orientation of high school, this existential question hit me like a tidal wave—initially destructive yet ultimately metamorphic. Those around me blessed with a wealth of confidence from a young age beamed with vanity: athletes, scholars, musicians and those exceptionally precocious few with the ability to thrive in multiple environments.…

    I then took AP Computer Science, where I wrote larger and more complex programs further sparking interest in computer science. This year, I am taking an advanced animation class in which we were assigned to create a simulation of dots floating in a space. I went beyond that by making a complete game with a start screen, multiple levels, and random board generation. I enjoyed making algorithms for flocking the dots because it was hard to figure out the balance between attraction, separation, and alignment. I like how computer science at CMU is focused on algorithms because they have been my favorite part of the…

    A Jedi In the Making As I cautiously draw out my newly constructed lightsaber, harnessed by the “Force” and ignite it blue half way in midair, I keep my focus steady on my opponent, Darth Vader the Sith Master, as he assumes his own en garde stance for an epic lightsaber duel. In a flash, my combatant casts his dark cloak aside and clashes his red blade against mine. The yellow tint from the interlocked sabers, illuminates the deep mass of evil behind the mask.…

    True and significant life is found in Jesus Christ and because of my firm conviction of this it has been my primary objective to point people to Jesus. Being persuaded that Christ wants Christians and especially those who take leadership roles to minister to the needs of others, I have ordered my life to conform to that conviction. Ultimately, Jesus desires that each Christian serves him by serving others; this is accomplished in a variety of ways – feeding those who are hungry, teaching everyone the life saving Gospel, and by leading in a way that reflects the glory of Christ. It has been my immense pleasure to have had the opportunity to preach God’s Word to thousands of people over the past fifteen years. It is my sincere passion to see people embrace Christ Jesus as their Lord and savior and to be transformed by the renewing of their minds through the Word of God.…

    Personal Statement I grew up in a mainly Hispanic household, where all we spoke was Spanish. When I was hanging out with my friends I spoke more English than Spanish. As a kid, the transition was hard to get used to, but I grew older it became easier day by day. Also changing my personality to be more outgoing and creative to adjust to the life of a high student, was difficult since I used to be quiet and self-conscience. What made me different from everyone was that I became great at writing stories from any genre.…
