Life has doors for us to open at stages in our life. We must open every door on the bottom floor to higher. A hierarchy. A system. A ladder. But why go through all these doors when we can restrict ourselves to one door? Ambiguity is a tough case. Torn apart between two sides, Computer Science and Law have always piqued my interest. However, I had to choose a path: What must I do in order not just to serve my interest but to serve my people? Whether it was to solve nail-biting issues or minute hardships of daily life, I have always been enticed to Computer Programming. Partaking in virtual JavaScript classes in middle school, undergoing AP Computer Science in my junior year, and obtaining a few Python Programming certifications, Computer Science planted a seed in me that yearned to bloom for the world. Math never liked me, but I loved math. Hurdling through barriers, my 8th-grade math class humbled me, but through extensive tutoring and fortitude, I flew through the realm of math and landed in AP Calculus BC by my junior year. On the other hand, I have been fond of writing since 2nd grade. From a composition journal to my laptop, I needed to paste my thoughts on a tangible surface to envision the traffic of my thoughts. My laptop was a storage space: storing unorganized thoughts, unimaginable tales, and unfathomable perceptions. But how did I reveal this storage space to people? Public speaking. Interacting. Acting. Debating. I wrote and spoke to show these convictions. Acting has always been an eccentric mode of expression. Theatre Elite Productions gave me a field to convey my artistic talent, a stronghold of emotions, and rhythmic movements. Teaching me a diversification of skills, theatre has taught me the significance of public speaking and helped me produce an outgoing personality, which would, in turn, invigorate interactions among research team members. Texas Thespians, a premier community of theatre education promoting theatrical competition, has been my family outside of my house. Placing second place in the DemocracyWorks Contest, I had a chance to paint my story for an audience and digest lessons from professionals in workshops, helping me overcome my shell of constriction and simplify interconnections with strangers. I was spontaneous: dabbling in all sorts of colors that I didn't think my canvas needed. The future was a gift, and I had to figure out my way to unwrap such a gift. Experiences shape and break careers. Like the roots of a tree, academic courses like Advanced Computer Science in 9th grade, AP Computer Science in 11th grade, and simple JavaScript Coding Classes were the foundation of my technological journey. They not only honed my knowledge of programming languages but also replicated methods of teamwork in group projects in an "office setting." Reinvigorating my pursuit of Computer Science and Technology, courses like AP Calculus BC taught me applicable math and Independent Student Mentorship allowed me to learn professionalism on a deeper level. But there was an issue -- my performance. Even though I dipped my toes into the water of high school successfully, my grades in my Computer Science class as a freshman were poor, failing the second quarter in disgrace. As a junior, landing in AP Computer Science A, I received a perfect A+ for the first quarter. I reflect on my freshman year of susceptibility and ignorance and thank that year as that academic experience did not hinder my motivation to proceed in Computer Science, but invigorated that motivation to expand my expertise like never before. Every chapter of my life has meaningful conclusions. Some chapters are still being written, some are finished. Procuring many proficiencies from my extracurriculars, each one has taught me a distinct moral. My interest in taking initiative was another chapter of my life. Leadership rises even in the most apprehensive people. Destination Imagination, a club that instructs a group of students to work in high-stakes acting challenges and engineering competitions, induced leadership in me whenever our group started losing people. Finding my team's strengths and weaknesses, I stepped up and led the team during this obstacle, which helped us reach first place in several state tournaments. Having a voice in a group is not used to dictate your surroundings, but used to reinforce and guide individual motives for the betterment as a whole. But what does this all mean at the end of the day? A man with many hands? A man with many talents? A man with many powers? No--one man and two hands. No talent, but possess of hard work. No powers, but possesses persistence. We go through these doors in our lives to find new rooms, to meet new people, and to see things. We persevere to find the knobs of these doors. We fight to prevail in the next room. It's an ongoing cycle. A cycle of life.
