As I slowly press down on the power button, I hear a *beep* followed by a cacophony of fans beginning their revolutions and each electrical watt of power working on its assigned job. I can still hear the sound my brother's computer made the first time I used it. The bright screen caught my attention, sparking a rushing revelation and an unbreakable bond. I was often obsessed over how much technology was around us. I noticed it when my mother drove me to school in her 2004 expedition every morning. From the engine roaring to life to the windows going up and down on my command, I felt the amount of control I had over technology. This control intrigued me, as I frequently asked, “Why can’t I feel like this constantly?” I went through every day realizing I couldn’t control much. I couldn’t control the low amount of food we had for dinner. I couldn’t control the past, good or bad. I couldn’t control the sailing ship of emotions within me as I searched for a path. Every second spent on my computer, whether it was a game of Tetris or research for history homework, filled my life with euphoria and control which I always lacked. I had become the captain of my ship with a limitless path ahead of me. I strive to replicate the invigoration and sense of possibility I first felt by furthering technological development while inspiring others to find their true passion.
