Cristian said: “Since I started working with computers when I was about ten, I was always fascinated by how they work. When I began programming my freshman year in high school, I was hooked. Ever since then, I’ve been programming in different languages and always trying to broaden my skills and abilities. I hope that TAMU-CC can help me further increase this knowledge which I constantly try to grow. I enjoy programming, and that’s why I want to get into the Computer Science program. I want to get a career doing what I enjoy.”
CONGRATULATIONS CRISTIAN! We are very proud to have you in our STORM scholars program!
