How to become a computer Scientist
Its 3:00pm, the day is over. Your friends, classmates, they all pour into the hallways and open their blue lockers; they brag about their SAT scores and talk about college. Their dreams, goals, and accomplishments. Then there’s you, pondering about career choices in the back of the library alone. You browse the internet, searching for the top 10 most successful majors. Your physics teacher says engineering and science is the only valid occupation in the future but your writing teacher says otherwise. Its 5 o’clock. The hallways are empty and as you walk toward the exit you see NBA Star Chris Bosh on a poster. “Anyone can code” he says.
Now you're in class, at a university far from home. The classrooms are a lot different from what you had expected. They’re ... smaller. Almost like its high school all over again. Your professor walks in and on the first day of class she claims that half of the class will drop this course. Welcome to Intro to objected oriented programming. You fail the first quiz. Then you fail the first exam. Then you fail the second quiz and now you're panicking. You finally chosen a subject that interest you but you’re failing to produce any type of results. And then you discover something called curves in college. You pass the course with a C+.
It’s your second year in college, you're wiser and more confident. Yet here you are, alone in the back of the library, staring at your laptop in your cubicle. You should be studying but you can help but think, what if I went to another school. What if you didn't get rejected from your first choice. You browse the internet for top 10 schools for computer science major and you find that your first choice is still on that list. Instead of studying for your exam you decide to apply for that school again and take a leap of faith. You fail your exam the next day.
Spring semester storms by and you’re overwhelmed by all the amount of events you must attend. New student orientation, class registration, academic coaching sessions. Memorize the buses, know about the four different campus’s, learn the in’s and out’s of this university and you should be fine for the rest of your college career she says.
Suddenly you are no longer the wise sophomore computer science student but rather a naive freshman. You’re late for you first class, but it doesn't matter. You're not sitting in a classroom with assigned seats anymore. Instead its a lecture hall comparable to lincoln center. You take your first exam and failed harder than you ever had in your life, and so you panic again. You run to office hours and your professor doesn't have time for you, so he directs you to the TA.
You learn to forget everything in Intro to Object and oriented programming. All those hours spent studying for that course for nothing. Suddenly you're back to square one. You walk out of your TA’s office with regret and anger. But you’ll be fine in the next few days. You have new friends to comfort you and listen to you rant for hours.
You go to your dorm. You're alone and pondering about how you got here. You search up the top 10 most successful majors and you find computer science on that list. You lay down, close your eyes, and wonder to yourself. When will this all be worth it?
