When I was young, I dreamt about becoming an engineer. At that time, I didn’t know what really an engineer is. I only knew that engineer builds buildings, massive ones and calculate things. Without passion, I wanted to become a civil engineer when I was young.
Around 10–14 years old, I started to think of creating something new as I’ve read books of the famous inventors around the globe. I got the mood to create something new. At the same time, my Dad bought me a laptop. I was so lucky that I got an opportunity to self study at that time. But then, I was only playing games on my laptop, especially grand theft auto series from Rockstar games. I was bored of playing GTA story mode after several complete gameplays. So, I wanted to use cheats and mods. In order to use mods, I have to download mod packs and client software to install mods on GTA games. I got many many errors as I do not know the process. I also had to enter into registry editor without knowing the process. Then, I tried, I tried and I tried again. Finally, the mods worked. And then, I started to think of creating my own mod which allows the player to move fast, jump higher and super punch without using others’ mods. I succeeded in creating one, but I couldn’t published it because it was no use for other players around the world because similar mods and cheats are being used by the players.
I started to understand how the computer works ( How Windows Works). After several times of do this and do that-s, my operating system got crashed as I’ve attempted to modify system files. I got scared when I found out that my computer stucked on boot. The logo keeps coming over and over. I couldn’t tell this problem to my father, I couldn’t speak it out. So, I invested money about a week and then I bought a windows 7 installation book that is available in my hometown local book stores. I read the instructions and then started to install a clean windows 7 operating system on my laptop. A lot of questions came into my head …
- What is BIOS?
- What is Operating System?
- What are Hard Disks?
- What are Volumes and Partitions?
- How is Windows Disk Bootable?
- What is Bootable USB?
- How is hardware and software related?
Asking these questions myself, I surfed the internet a lot and put myself into computer field. Still, I have a lot of questions to build. For all these past years, I can definitely say that my progress has increased a lot. Throughout these years I have learned —
- Programming
- Networking
- Web Development
- Game Development
- A bit of machine controls
- A bit of robotics, and
- A bit of cyber security
Right now, I’m building a personal website using React.js. For all these past years, my time was worth. I would like to thank to all my teachers for teaching me. Still I am learning to become a professional game developer. I don’t want to go into a single path because for me, every computing subjects matter to my dream. And this way, I’m dedicated to computer field and I look forward to collaborate with other developers, so I can achieve teamwork, work experience, solutions and tips and tricks.
Thank you so much for reading this article and giving your time for me.
