Why I am at MATC?

I chose to attend Milwaukee Area Technical College, not just to earn a degree. No, more so that I can gain the skills for earning my degree in IT-Web and Software Development. I have a deep passion for computer programming and anything else related to the topic of computers. I know the programming languages C#, Visual Basic, and Java. I am currently in the process of learning the scripting languages of SQL, HTML, and JavaScript. I am learning these scripting languages in classes I have been taking while attending Milwaukee Area Technical College.

Going to Milwaukee Area Technical College has all been a journey for me. So far I have attended one semester prior to my current semester. I attended the Spring 2017 semester which wasn't what I would say the best semester ever. During what would be the Fall 2017 semester, I decided to take a semester off. During that semester off, I dedicated my time to improving myself and sharpening my skills as a Software Developer. I have also finished building my own PC prior to the start of Spring 2018 semester. It took me 3 years to gather all the parts I have needed due to financial hardship. Then, alas, my PC has finally been completed after those long years. After all I been through during Fall 2017, I have now returned to Milwaukee Area Technical College to pick up from what I have started on.

As far as work experience goes, I haven't had much success in finding a job in my field. Considering that I am still young, my experience comes from schooling. My experience goes as far back as my freshman year of High School. I took all the programming classes you could take at Oak Creek High School. However, the real journey starts with Milwaukee Area Technical College and I will continue to push forward in my experience.

The reason why I chose IT-Web and Software Development is because, as I mentioned earlier, I have that deep passion, that deep love, for computers. Despite have love for everything about computers, I wanted to focus more on the Software Development rather than Web Development or anything else on in the IT world. I solely chose Software Development because I wanted to create applications and software. By using the programming languages I have learned, it feels as if I could create anything. Those are really the main reasons why I chose the program I chose.

My goal this semester is to study hard and further better my skills as a Software Developer. To achieve my goal of study harder, I plan on finding different study tactics to learn all I can about computers, and to develop my skills as to be successful in my schooling. Which goes into my next goal, further bettering my skills as a Software Developer. I want to be coding, researching, and learning about every detail of Software Development.

What do I plan for the future after school is finished? I am quite skeptical on what exactly I want to be doing career-wise. Some of my ideas for career options and interests are perhaps applying for Google, Microsoft, or any other careers within that realm of careers. What is it that I should do within those companies, you may ask? I am still trying to figure that out, but I would probably be placed in the field of programming for clients. I think that would be a great option for me, yet still I would have to think upon it. 

All in all, this is my dream and what I want to do with my life. I hope to achieve my dream to become a successful Software Developer. I strive to be the best at what I do. With the schooling I am pursuing, with the activities I am doing, and with the skills I am learning, I will achieve my dreams!
