Computer Science

“ Why I Chose Computer Science as My Major “  

Computer is one of wonderfull things in our world. Why is it?Because by computer existence of computer, we can increase our science and technology, eficience and live performance, and capable make the modern human civilization. With the presence of computer can deliver human’s living more dominant with computerized and website developed. Maybe, if the computer in our world never invent before, so the developing human civilization is inhibited.

In science college in Indonesia, there is science who studied about computer, such as : Informatics engineering, Management of informatic, Computer Engineering, Computer Science etc. We know that everybody will have the great salary from their job. Actually, many people choose the best education for getting the best job too. And one of knowledge which study of computer are computing, hardware, and software. Computer science have incuded many kinds of topics that link with computer, start from analysis of abstract programming to more concrete subjects such as programming language and software hardware so to make computer science to disciplin knowledge that demandest everybody, moreover the job of computer science, so i did. 

By the way, about the reason i join in major of computer science is about my journey that  terminated by challenge to loving computer science. Yeah, i want to tell some points about joining the computer world, specially computer science major is. This is started when i was in junior high school, chose senior school as the next studying is something which taboo for myself. Why that? Because my incomprehension about the major in senior school, namely between science program or social program. My odd parents never adviced me about it too. So, i must consider it myself. Option of the major in senior high school is not the main priority, yet i exactly chose scholl which gave chance of scholarship, and it my main destination. Finally, votional school is chosen by me and i joined information and technology major or specially in program software engineering. My neighbour more familiar if i studied in computer schooll. 

Indeed, i realized that my TIK’s score is not so good or instead bad, and i known that i gaptek’s  person. So, it seems like i joined in wrong major. Ya, i ever felt unconfortable with subjects were given me and it often is told with my uncle and aunt. They listened my problem only responsed me by said that i should be patient and better. They also didn’t respect about my problem, because their assumptions that it only in temporary term. They said, “please enjoy it Tole, and later you can fell enjoying in your studying. Imagine, there so many people who want to study, so you must be praise to Allah!” 

One day, i visited in one of my public figure village. He was formered principal of my village and often we called him by Pak Manten. He adviced me with many kind of seldom words, and finally i met with his daughter whom surfered like me. She told about her experience. She said,” i also surfer like you, i don’t like my major, but i must beat it. Assumpt it that we fall in swimmingpool, so we must swim if we want be saving. Teacher just teach how to swim well, not to help us or get us to the edge of swimmingpool. So we must swim slowly.” She adviced me by slogan, that is we should move on, because silent is murdering. Don’t felt haven’t skill about something, but try for get something, although a little bit, so we could get the finish edge. 

After that events, i more optimistic to walked on my studying for 3 years at computer major in vocational school. Yah, apraise Allah i could pass and graduated with other friends. We had know that student who graduated from vocational school was prepared for labour directly. But looked labour paradigm in Indonesia, i had not dared yet, because looked many people who work with system contract 8 months. Any other choice? Yah college, i prefer decide to continue my studying than working. In early 6th semester, i was active to get information about college and scholarship to continue my studying for struggling in the future. Until, i got an information about Bidikmisi, that is full scholarship for student at program S1 or D3 in university whole part of our country, Indonesia. And i select Gadjah Mada University (UGM) as my primary selection. For the major, why i choice computer science? Because my basic in computer when i was in vocational school. Of course, that was can help me to learning Computer Science generally. And Alhamdulillah, i am in UGM now, i can reach it in there. May peace be fighting. Thank you.
