Finding What Works For You

It can tend to be hard to find yourself or what major you would like to do in college. A lot of college students tend to major in undecided until they figure out what they want to do. Whereas myself I jumped right into something I thought I’d like but did not have a passion for. I started off college as a respiratory care major, I thought this was something that I would enjoy but it was not my preferred cup of tea. So, I decided to change my major to something completely different which would be computer science, I had a passion for computers, social media, being creative in making different designs. I have found myself even though I knew nothing about coding which was a tad bit difficult for me, but I got tuff it. I know just like myself there are other women out there can relate to this YouTube video I found.

A young women name Tiffani Buck who graduated with a Bachelor of Science in Computer Science from Georgia State University. Tiffany just like myself she did have not had a clear set path in the beginning when she first started college. She first started her journey in college as a journalism major and switched her major twice before ending up as a Computer Science major. It was difficult for her to manage all the class requirements, so she took extra summer classes and ended up graduating in May of 2018. Being a woman of color in such a male-dominating field can be very hard, Tiffani has created a sense of community for many women in Computer Science by creating an organization at Georgia State University called Girls++.

If you cannot find yourself by changing your major the first time you should try taking a personality test which tests you on things you like or what you find interesting, you can even try talking to your current advisor or dean of your college. They can also help you point yourself into the right directing. Remember you can do and become a thing you put your heart and mind to, and you have people in your college community that would love to help you find the right you no matter how slow or fast it takes. Just take your time and be patent with yourself.
