Growing up, I thought I had to physically work hard my entire life in construction because that is how my dad knew how to make it in life. I was sheltered to how my parents ' more conservative way of living and handling the world. Being the middle of 5 brothers in a 36-year range, the first one to attend college, and with a different perspective, I see the world in a million ways to one. The military is where I learned the goods and the bads of the world, but computer science is where I will learn to change the world for the good. After building my first computer, I grew a strong attraction to computers, technology, future endeavors of humanity, and quantum computing. At first, it was IT I was interested and the way things were put together but after further learning about all of the problem-solving fields revolving around technology and the deeper I went the more I was drawn to Computer Science by the indefinite creative possibilities. Working with Elon Musk in Tesla or SpaceX would be an incredible achievement for me but ultimately I want to take part in the history of the 4th Industrial Revolution, the Fourth Turning, the space race, and the advancement of our species to bring the best possibilities of our time, and it is our job to discover those secrets. Another goal of mine is to be the best influence over my kids I possibly can be and provide them with the knowledge to excel in their future. Like Chris Jackson, My kids mean the world to me and I would like to lead them to the opportunities provided by knowledge and passion. I am the best candidate for this scholarship because I know I can make a difference where ever I can put my passions to work. Receiving this scholarship will provide me with resources to further invest in my vision to solving problems and changing the world.
