technology has had such a strong influence on me. Everytime I see major technology companies such as Apple, Microsoft, or Samsung open up new innovate tech to the public I always become even more inspired to study software development and get out of my comfort zone socially to increase my chances of being successful.

Since the beginning of the Fall 2016 semester, chocolate has become my comfort food.
