Why Computer Science?

I love the versatility of even a tiny amount of programming knowledge-- it's incredible how even with a small subset of knowledge, you can go off in so many different directions with it. The problem solving skills learned as you code more and more are insanely gratifying, and the creative aspect gives you so much freedom. Additionally, there's nothing more satisfying than the moment your code finally *clicks*, and I hope to help this semester's 110ers experience that moment!!
