children sport camps and even luau. Once I reached high school I made the decision that I would get a Computer Science degree from this University, so I worked diligently to achieve a 3.78 GPA as a full AP student with extra-curricular as Robotics and Sea Scouts. When I started my freshman year at the University things went smooth and I was enjoying myself, I focused on taking my computer science cores and studying. During my freshman finals my grandmother Virginia passed away. My school career…

to the School of Informatics and Computing. Although I started the course with a basic understanding of what the difference between informatics and computer science was, I continue to learn the difference in the details between the two fields. I have declared informatics as my major, but the class has sparked an interest in computer science and I have been considering a minor in the field. During my last two years of high school I took programming and advanced programing while designing a…

The film, Beyond Science, was an interesting film that takes a closer look at popular and controversial non-scientific approaches. Palm reading, dowsing, energy manipulation, and extraterrestrial encounters were among some of the explored subjects in the film. The people interviewed in the film strongly believed that these methods were real and valid, yet when they were tested using the scientific method, they failed. While I personally do not believe in any of the non-scientific reasoning or…

Science Fiction Writing: Fiction or Prediction? Much like a window into our future’s worst nightmares, the science fiction genre allows one to get that “based on a true story” horror movie feel for what could happen to the world we know. The books and stories that fall upon this category are not supposed to be a foolproof, flawless prediction of the daily lives of future generations, but do often hold some truth in the erratic world of tomorrow since they are frequently based on real events.…

The Houston Forensic Science Center is a local government corporation for whom I would like to work for in the future. Their mission is “To receive, analyze and preserve physical and digital evidence while adhering to the highest standards of quality, objectivity and ethics.” Their headquarters are currently located at 1301 Fannin St, Suite 170 Houston, TX 77002.
