Excellent computer skills and hobby of program development

I have excellent computer skills. In high school, I won first place in an information retrieval competition, and since then, I’ve developed my skills by devouring two computer programming books a day. I realized that there are many other sources of information besides books, and the blogs I used to read had a lot of information I wanted to know. Through blogging, I became close to the owner, and we formed a club with other like-minded people, meeting once a month to exchange information, have fun, and further develop my passion for computer program development. The owner’s dedication to sharing information inspired me to one day become one of those people who can share useful information with others.
After college, in my third year at the company, I fulfilled that promise. I created a website with my name on it and started to help people get useful information about computer program development. During my computer studies, I realized the importance of English, and although I was somewhat familiar with the technical terms related to system development, I struggled to communicate fluently in English. Therefore, I took time out of my work life to study English, and as a result, I now have a good level of English. Today, I will do my best to use these English and computer skills to make myself an indispensable person for your company.

 

 

Connecting with the Internet

When I was younger, I often felt envious when I saw my friends at school casually discussing their daily lives with their parents. They envied my spacious and abundant room, but I would rather stay with my parents, even if it was in a small and cramped house. However, when I confided in my friends, they often gave me uncomprehending looks, so I gradually stopped sharing my feelings with them. Naturally, I became clumsy in interacting with my friends, and I tried to cope with school life in my own way through the Internet and mobile phones.
It was the internet that saved me from my growing addiction. I was surprised to find out that we lived in the same neighborhood, and even went to the same school, when I was chatting with a classmate I knew from a gaming club. Afterwards, we met at the canteen and talked about various things, and I became close to him, and I finally had a real friend. He became an important support for me, and I gained confidence in making friends. After this experience, I realized the importance of communicating through the Internet, and realized that the Internet is not just an escape, but a place for interaction.

 

 

Learning English for my favorite singer

Because I often hang out with people with similar hobbies in my online circles, I sometimes neglected my offline academic life. Sometimes, I would lend CDs of my favorite singers to share my hobbies with friends I met at school, but it was not easy to find common tastes overnight. However, some of my friends shared my hobbies, and I felt great joy whenever I met them. Even though they didn’t share my hobbies, I was able to enjoy them more because they understood and sympathized with my different tastes.
Thanks to the skills I gained from my hobbies, my English scores were excellent, and I was good enough to win top prizes in the school’s website and internet-related competitions. My teachers gave me a lot of advice to explore related careers using the tasks I was familiar with, and I chose an IT-related major based on their advice. I had a tough time getting into college, but thanks to my internet competitions, I was able to get into the university of my choice. This experience has been a great joy for me, and I hope to further develop in the IT field in the future.

 

 

Working to change preconceived notions about gaming

I’ve been very interested in gaming since I was a kid. At one point, I dreamed of becoming a professional gamer and built up my skills, but I had to compromise with reality when I realized that there were many people who were better than me in national competitions. My parents wanted me to focus on my studies, but I spent my days hanging out at PC cafes and friends’ houses, immersed in gaming. I dreamed of doing something related to gaming, but I didn’t have the skills to be a professional gamer, and I didn’t have the scientific brain to go into a technical field. As a result, I compromised to keep gaming as a hobby rather than a career.
Despite this, I never gave up my passion for gaming, and since middle school, I’ve been secretly buying and playing games in the name of my video club, comparing the differences between classic and modern games, and studying the history and evolution of gaming. In the process, I’ve also become repulsed by the negative preconceptions about gaming. I started to question why games are viewed negatively in society, when the people who work in the industry do so with passion and talent. To change this perception, I realized that I wanted to make games myself, and I’ve been pursuing this dream ever since.

 

 

Repairing computer parts, fixing laptops, etc.

My specialty and hobby is fixing computers. Computers are an essential tool in any organization, and I know how to work with a variety of devices, including PCs, laptops, and tablets. As a computer major, I have always tried to solve problems on my own when they arise, rather than taking them to a repair center. In the process, I gained new knowledge and information, and gradually improved my repair and improvement skills. As a result, I have gained the ability to solve computer-related problems, and I have reached a point where I am willing to take the initiative to solve computer problems wherever I am.
After gaining momentum in computer repair, I continued my studies in various fields, such as improving the internet experience, network repair, modem repair, and fixing errors in software use. Based on these experiences, I have earned the nickname “Dr. Computer” and hope to contribute to your organization as a person who can solve problems in the utilization of devices on their own.

 

 

Studying programming languages

I am a person who combines hobbies and work. As an aspiring programmer, I write computer programs and design software. In this process, I try to enjoy and participate in the planning, development, and execution phases of the program rather than just thinking about it as a job. One of my hobbies is learning programming languages whenever I have time.
Learning about different programming languages has always been beneficial to me, and I’ve built up my knowledge by taking courses and reading textbooks. I’ve mastered several programming languages, including C, JSP, MFC, and JAVA, but I’m always trying to upgrade. Learning programming languages has become a fun endeavor for me, and I don’t separate my work from my studies.
My specialty is using these programming languages to modify existing programs. While my goal is to develop new programs, I also spend my free time improving and modifying existing programs to build my skills. This practice is helping me to apply new ideas and develop existing ones.

 

 

Winning an information retrieval competition

When I was in high school, I won the grand prize in an information retrieval competition I happened to enter. The task was to search for and attach materials based on a given set of criteria, and because I had practiced searching the web, I was able to quickly find and organize information, which ultimately won me the grand prize. This experience inspired me to enjoy surfing the web and anything related to it, even when I wasn’t preparing for a competition.
Surfing the Internet has helped me not only to find information, but also to search for material for assignments and writing. I have improved my ability to quickly find information on a topic or material and review it for accuracy, which allows me to write an organized piece of writing in a short amount of time. This ability to search for information will also be useful in the sales office field. I am confident that I will be able to use my skills not only in meeting people, but also in organizing documents and office work.

 

 

Tinkering and disassembling computers

My hobby is disassembling and assembling computers, looking under the hood and fixing them. This hobby started in high school, and I had a deep interest in computer repair that led me to pursue computer education. During my school years, I gained experience by managing a multi-lab in my school, fixing broken computers in the faculty office, etc. I also handled and modified not only hardware but also software programs, and actively participated in computer-related volunteer activities.
This experience has given me an expert-level knowledge of the inner workings of computers, and I’ve found joy in adding value by repairing and reassembling used computers. This hobby has given new life to many broken and used items, and I’ve developed a passion for computer repair. With these skills and experience, I’m confident that you can play an important role in your IT environment.

 

 

Creating games with computer programs

I’ve been studying computer science and programming languages since high school. I had a strong passion for games, so I took on the challenge of creating them. I started programming in a club with my friends, and as a result, I was able to create games and software in the way and with the system I wanted. I started by creating calculators, clock alarms, and so on, and then I started creating simple role-playing games.
In the process of making games, I realized the importance of planning and ideas, and I learned that games are not just made by technical skills alone. I decided that the core of a game is a story that can entertain and interest people, so I started making games that can tell a story. As a result, I made games that borrowed the format of novels or dramas, and after opening them as applications, I received a lot of feedback from people. Through this experience, I got used to making games, and now making games and software has become my specialty and hobby.
