My Interest in Computers: Personal Experience
GS2520: Professional Communications

Project Part 1: My Personal Commercial

Ever since the age of ten, I have been interested in computers. My Uncle started us in computers as a means of introducing a new technology that would be useful in our futures. Since that time, I have owned and used a vast variety of computers in educational, work, and personal environments over the course of my life; I have always been intrigued by their function much to the point that after graduating high school, I decided that I wanted to work with computers professionally.

Many years later, after a challenging and less than successful initial bid to facilitate my entry into the professional world of computers, I found myself with a second opportunity to further my education and shortly after retiring from military service; I received a Bachelor’s of Arts degree in Social Science from Thomas Edison State College. Although my degree was not directly related to the computer field, I seized upon the opportunity to utilize the skills that I had developed in my degree program, and used those skills to reach out to potential employers. In reaching out, I offered my skills, abilities and talents to a variety of employers that would have been able to capitalize and benefit from the use of those skills sets.

After months of networking and reaching out to employers, one company, Apple Computer, Inc. paid a call and upon successfully completing various phases of applying and interviewing, I was offered what I considered to be the opportunity of a lifetime! While employed with Apple I have diligently continued to build upon my set of skills and abilities while bringing to bear my talents of personal interaction, speech and soft skills as my job puts me in direct contact with the general public daily.

My goal is to one day become a network systems administrator for Apple. Based on my existing skill sets and work performance to date, you can be

    I have always been fascinated with computers going back to when I was in elementary school. I was intrigued by the capabilities of technology, and after acquiring my own desktop computer I began to explore the vast combinations and possibilities of an operating system. Since I had yet to become connected to the internet, I spent my time teaching myself what each program and setting could produce. Much of my early knowledge of computers stemmed from my curiosity, and by fourth grade I was known as the “go to technician,” helping the teachers connect their laptop to the projector or other similar tasks. When our school added a new high-tech computer lab I was ecstatic, and in this lab I learned even more, adding to my existing knowledge. My reputation at school grew, and every year increasingly more teachers called on my assistance, even following me through middle school and high school. My interest continued, and for my eighth grade career fair project I built a fully running computer from spare parts, without a metal enclosure or hard drive, using a flash drive to boot and run a Linux based operating system. As a senior I work with my school’s IT Department as a student intern: solving problems, completing research, and maintaining the functionality of our equipment. I find helping others with my skills very rewarding and this further drives…

    A Perfect Tech Nerd

    From an early age, I've been deeply fascinated by computing. I was first introduced to this gadget, my 30 pounds Pentium 1, by my dad when I was just nine. I was immediately struck by this incredible machine that seemed to take a life of its own. This sparked the desire to learn more about computers, to learn about how they work; a desire that still drives me to this day. More than anything, I always imagined a computer as more than just any machine unlike the other electronics in our house; certainly given the amount of time I would spend on a computer, it was more human to me than most of my family members and friends These were still the days when most people in Pakistan did not have access to computers. However, I wanted to go beyond merely learning to play simple games. As soon as I got my first internet connection, a 28K dial up modem, I discovered an online community filled with wonders and information about all kinds of stuff. It was then that I set for myself the goal that I would teach myself everything and anything about computers and how they were configured Although I formally started studying computer sciences when I was in high school, I began my informal studies when I was merely 12 . However, I had always been fascinated by numbers and was naturally apt at performing computations in my head. As such, I found the laws and computations performed in science very logical and as such pursued physics and chemistry during these years. This further chiseled my analytical and evaluation skills. Although I have grown older, my interest in computers and computing has not faded I have never allowed it to be restricted to classrooms and school life. In the last 15 months, I have self-taught myself to create my own browser using Visual Basic. I have also been learning Java and Python and have managed to create automated testing frameworks while building a lot of other internal tools. Besides this, I sometimes collaborate with friends, both…
