While I was in 9th grade, I built a circuit for the traffic system of our city. After getting the first prize, I
got this valuable advice from my father, "Do whatever interests you, and don"t let the work challenge you,
make sure you are challenging that work."
I have always preferred the projects which are challenging and related to real life problems. I clearly
remember building a shipping program several years ago. I divided the whole project into several small
sections. When I understood it clearly, used my brainstorming skill on it, and gave some basic ideas. Then
I asked my professor for help before jumping into coding. At first, I did not know how to ask questions
correctly and always asked the question "How do I do it?" As I kept working and discussed with my professor,
I became more comfortable and those"How" questions soon turned into "What if I do this and that" types o
f questions.
It took me four days to write the code. The desire to solve the problem kept me sleepless all nights
brainstorming in even greater details. Every time I saw my program running smoothly, I exploded with joy.
I still remember the last day of my work. I was getting some problem and didn"t know what to do. At that
moment, a man came in to clean. He has headphones, and he was dancing while cleaning the room. Seeing
this, I burst out laughing. That moment calmed me. I regained energy and interest and started to work again,
and soon I fixed the problem.
My success in the project proved that breaking up a large problem into small parts could help find a
possible solution. Discussing the problem with others was also very beneficial. Now I have gained the
confidence to attempt any kind of project. |
