Why I want to go into Software Engineering

Computers have always been apart of my life. Whether it was at home playing video games or at school when assignments were online. As I grew up I was always intrigued by the way video games were made and I would always rush to my T.V. or Monitor to play after school. I want to become a Software Engineer so I can create my own video game one day. I want to be a creator so that I can bring joy to people the same way that video games growing up brought me joy and still do.

Working on a computer has become like second nature for using them my whole life. It is really easy for me to learn while working with computers and different programs. I am a very quick learner and the online prep course was a great example where I was able to do that. Software engineering was always my top choice but the only thing I couldn’t decide on was if I wanted to do hardware or software. Software engineering sounded more interesting to me since I already knew how to do some basic coding when I learned on codecademy. I wanted to do hardware engineering as well but it wasn’t as interesting at software since I will be able to make so many different programs or games.

This is the first step to my dream and the biggest step of my life. I am nervous about working on the program but even more excited to grow as a person. Not many others get a chance in this and I’m glad I was able to. I am so grateful for having the chance to learn more about coding so I can one day make my dream come true.
