Truthfully, working in academia just recently became a passion of mine. Originally, I went into my undergraduate career intending to work as a video game developer; however, as I spent more time in the field of computer science, I began questioning this career choice. Particularly, during my sophomore year, one course exposed me to the lifestyle of a video game developer. Ultimately, I realized I did not enjoy this lifestyle or work environment. As a result, I began questioning what I wanted to…
reliability statistics regarding question: Creating a new company or becoming an entrepreneur would mean for you, and considering that Cronbach’s Alpha indicator is the reliability index of the scale, taking into account the 7 variables of the question, the degree of reliability is high. However, it was necessary to eliminate the economic uncertainty variable to assure the reliability, because that question presented a higher result than 0.801 which is the Cronbach’s Alpha (See Table…
To Be or Not to Be Educated Colleges and universities, or more importantly an educational degree in the liberal arts, in today’s society is an important necessity that can help determine students’ goals and future in life. Maybe even calling these institutions or the educational system life itself can be called an understatement. However, there is no doubt that for some people in any part of the world they would risk everything they have in order to receive high-level education and use it to…
Personal Statement – Bijay Shrestha My father is a mathematics teacher and everyone presumed that I also have a bright mind like my father. But the truth was quite bitter. Although I was brought up with all the facilities a child could get I was still an average student. I displayed a sharp and inquisitive mind, but my indolence always dragged me to average standard. Things started to turn around, when I graduated to tenth grade. Based on a student’s level of understanding, we were categorized…

In recent years, the United States has been seen as far behind many other countries in relation to education. As the world advances and adjusts to the needs of a technologically savvy society, the United States has failed to produce individuals ready to enter into such a world and, more immediately, into such a workplace. To combat the lack of quality education in such areas as engineering and computer science, the United States has created many scientific programs. Through the introduction of…
In 1989 at the Conference on College Composition and Communication, David Bartholomae and Peter Elbow began an extensive debate that would continue for years to come as to the proper method and focus of teaching in undergraduate writing courses. This conversation gained so much attention and popularity that both men ended up publishing pieces to help clarify their stances for the many who wished to explore them, and while each wished to argue his point to the best of his ability, they also both…
My first semester at Texas A&M made me realize how quickly time transgresses. As a student that came in with an abundant amount of hours to the university, I feel that each day I spend in class is invaluable. With the credit hours I came in with, I am set to graduate in the Spring of 2018. Knowing that my time on campus is much shorter than other students, I find each day a valuable experience and memory. Academically, I feel at ease since I came in with much experience in rigorous courses and…

I want to know all the steps, planning, and creative input and watch it all come together to create something. I…
It begins with only a subtle murmur, yet this faint inclination proceeds unceasingly to a deepset rumble from over the hillside- its enthralling(/captivating?), knowing its coming, that anticipation of awe. It comes now thundering into sight, a great steel workhorse of such immense magnitude- it convinces even the iron rails upon which it rides to sing and arc with stresses. It barges past, its mechanical heart pounding out a relentless beat, reverberating even the air within your throat- as it…
