This upcoming fall of 2005 I will be a sophomore majoring in Computer Science with a minor in Aviation Science. I currently hold a 3.9 GPA and I was awarded the      opportunity to participate in the Undergraduate Research Experience internship at Elizabeth City State University where I also attend school and play for the ECSU      Lady Vikings as a starting guard.
            My love for computers began when I was just in elementary school. As a young student I was drawn to computers and I wanted to learn as much about them as      possible. I realize that computers practically control the world. They are used to store the most basic information to the government’s top knowledge. Computers are a      very popular instrument when communicating with others and developing new technologies.
            In order to enhance my technological knowledge I chose to select a major dealing with computers. In that case I chose the Computer Science major and took up a      minor in Aviation Science because I also have a passion for airplanes. Currently, I am debating if I want to enter the Air Force after I finish school.
            This summer, I was offered to participate in an internship headed by Dr. Linda Hayden. The Undergraduate Research Experience (URE) was quite an experience. At this internship I gained knowledgeable information in Microsoft Windows, UNIX, HTML, C++, Macromedia DreamWeaver and Fireworks. In addition to these computer skills, I was given the opportunity to become certified in CPR and First Aid, as well as Boating.
