While I was at high school I had no idea what I wanted to be when I grew up. I spent a lot of time just playing around and not thinking much about my life ahead. It wasn’t until I left school that I realized how hard it was to find a decent paying job that would satisfy me.
I then realized after a few jobs that this wasn’t what I thought life was like and decided to improve my skills in an area I would love to work in. that was when I decided to go to Tyne Metropolitan college.
When I went for my interview to see what the courses were like at Tyne Met I was expecting the courses to be very hard so decided to start at one of the lowest levels. Once I joined the course and started doing assignments I was surprised at how easy the course was. It was at this moment I realized that I had already aquired a set of skills that could be applied to this area.
I then decide to persue a career in computing
