Why Computer Science?

What I love about Computer Science is how challenging but boundless it feels. That virtually boundless frontier has allowed me to make simple games in class, but generations before me were able to increase accessibility to computers for millions of other people by creating a functional operating systems like Windows. With a drive, thirst for knowledge, and the resources available online and in the people around you, you can make anything you imagine become reality.

I wanted to be a UTA because I love teaching, and having the opportunity to meet new people and welcome them to the intimidating world of programming is something I find meaningful.
