Monteclair Personal Statement

When I first went to visit Montclair I noticed something that I had not seen at many other campuses. The opportunity to be involved in many different clubs and sports is tremendous. I am also interested in the computer science program. Being able to grow up in a generation where computers and technology are growing more and more each day to assist human life really set an interest in me from a young age. It excited me to live in a generation like this where so many people’s hardships can be fixed with a skill that I can learn from attending a school like Montclair. Lastly, I believe the new building being built will give me an advantage of hands on learning in relation to my peers at other higher education institutions.
One of my biggest strengths academically is to be able to overcome hardships. This has been my strength not only in my academics but also to my actual life.

Computer Science is a challenging field but, I am confident that my life experiences will help me succeed in college and throughout my career. With the opportunity to get involved I think it will make my difficult experiences with my family easy to cope
