Computer Programming

Being a computer programming is something to be proud of since it is not an easy job. Although many people believe that computer programming is HTML coding, it is not. Instead, computer programming is something much more advanced. Computer programming is learning all about the computer and trying to create pages of endless codes to do a certain job -in computers-. When I was in elementary school, I had seen a high school student program a simple scientific calculator for a week -4 pages of code, font 10-. Although many would think that it would be a waste of time since he could have bought a calculator instead, I thought not. By coding his own calculator on a computer, he was able to do more forms of math such as a few simple word problems.

I wanted to become a computer programmer since I was young because I always wanted to be different from others like Da Vinci. Unfortunately, unlike Da Vinci, I was never born with such drawing talents and believed that I could never show the world I was different from others. But, ever since I learned that computer programming was something I could show to the world –I was far above others in using computers efficiently-, that was when I started looking through thousands of pages of programming guide books. I was hooked into computer programming right away and it was an addiction. In less than a few weeks, I was able to create my first six page code program which could translate English words to both Spanish and French at the same time. My goal is to make other people’s life–other people’s job- easier with computer programs.

I recently read an article, “Computer Programming”. The article was about how computer programming is something all around us. It was implied that the moment a person turns on a laptop or a desktop, he or she is already using a few computer programs; one of them being your computer’s operating system and another being ITunes. Computer programming is made to help one’s performance with their work.

I personally think God made everyone in a way to use their specialties to help others. Thus, I want use my computer programming skills to ease one’s job; an example would be creating something better than Photoshop to help artists. After all, there is no rule stating out that one cannot help others by using their specialties!
