Slowly, I placed a slice of my Nemo-themed, blue frosted cake in front of my mother’s portrait. It was my 6 th birthday —three days after my mother passed away from peritoneal cancer.

As an aspiring engineer, I seek for an environment where I can learn through my own discoveries instead of being told the right answers. Over the years, programming has enabled me to create and solve a wide array of complex projects. From the first day of my Java coding class, I discovered that I could create literally anything and everything with lines of letters, numbers, and symbols.
