Once that happened, I knew that was where I wanted to go. ]]> 2021-09-13 19:29:07 UTC https://padlet.com/brle8381/lbu4hrecsek6ff76/wish/1737208485 brle8381 https://padlet.com/brle8381/lbu4hrecsek6ff76/wish/1737211746 however, As time went on, I became more and more aware of the sorts of problems that come from working in the entertainment industry. ]]> 2021-09-13 19:30:36 UTC https://padlet.com/brle8381/lbu4hrecsek6ff76/wish/1737211746 brle8381 https://padlet.com/brle8381/lbu4hrecsek6ff76/wish/1737214756 Consequently, I began to widen my scope, and as part of figuring that out, started a 4 year journey by enrolling in the computer science program here at CU Boulder. ]]> 2021-09-13 19:32:03 UTC https://padlet.com/brle8381/lbu4hrecsek6ff76/wish/1737214756 brle8381 https://padlet.com/brle8381/lbu4hrecsek6ff76/wish/1737219610 As of now, My main interest is in going into the software development field, working on various tools just like a blacksmith would have done in days long gone. ]]> 2021-09-13 19:34:25 UTC https://padlet.com/brle8381/lbu4hrecsek6ff76/wish/1737219610 brle8381 https://padlet.com/brle8381/lbu4hrecsek6ff76/wish/1737221397 At some point, things will likely go wrong, and when they do, emotions will likely be running high.
