Since my first key stroke at an early age I have been fascinated and intrigued by computer systems. Initially I learned volumes by resolving hardware and software issues without any assistance. This would not have been possible without my determined mindset and desire to solve a given problem. The entirety of my computing knowledge was self taught until I entered further education.
As my understanding has grown I have become increasingly interested in computer networks and the internet. Having established both wired and wireless networks in a home environment I am eager to build on this and further my education accordingly. I was also made aware of my interest in the theoretical side of networking through a communication technology module, I am currently looking forward to a further networking module next year. I find the entire subject amazing, from the concept and initial design to the implementation; I remain captivated throughout. Perhaps similarities can be drawn from a keen interest in team based sports and activities. A team will only function effectively if every individual is performing their task as required, a computer network and the operation of its individual components is essentially the same. The development of internet tools and applications also appeals greatly to me. Eventually I aim to carve a career in the aforementioned area of computing with an ambition to ultimately specialise in network security.
My diplomatic qualities and communication skills are but two of many positive character traits. I also pride myself in my punctuality and ability to meet deadlines. Another one of my passions is writing, through the study of literature I have gained a strong analytical proficiency.
Computing aside, I enjoy a number of recreational activities. Playing regular football and attending a local fitness centre provides not only enjoyment but also gives the added benefits of regular exercise.
With anticipation I wait for the experience of university, but it is with eagerness I wait for the challenges it has to offer.
