Assignment 7-Tag Howard

In college, I look forward to an environment where I can learn and work in a place that is more focused to my interests. It is my hope that the college I end up going to is an extension of the work I do now, researching that which interests me whilst simultaneously maintaining knowledge in other fields. In doing so I hope to emerge from college with the ability both to excel in my career (computer science) and to be proficient in similar or even irrelevant fields. It is with this expectation in mind that I make my choice of which colleges to send my application to. By taking college courses in this subject-rather than just studying on my own-not only do I gain the invaluable degree certifying that I do indeed understand the subject, but I will also find myself immersed in a community of individuals such as myself. And while the academy (and the accelerated cluster in middle school) created a semblance of that experience, it simply is not the same. And once I graduate I can see the future I hope for and many of the ways it can proceed being greatly supported by a college education.
