1 min readJan 25, 2021
- Where did you grow up? I grew up in Fort Worth, Texas.
- What high school did you attend? Trinity Valley School
- What was your favorite extracurricular activity in high school?Volleyball (played from 7th grade until graduation + 2 years of club), guitar (performed some covers and original songs at various school events with a friend of mine), and video games.
- Why did you come to UT? To study Computer Science.
- Why are you majoring in CS? It’s the only field I’m both decent in and can make a living by working in
- Why are you in this class? I really enjoy C and I want to know C++ better, but I learn better from classes than independent study. Additionally, I’ve had less exposure to topics like design patterns than I would like.
- What are your expectations of this class? I expect to do at least a passable job at learning C++.
- How much C++ do you already know? I know how classes are structured and the very basics of things like templates, but the only concrete C++ experience I have is from OS which is very low level and practically just C with the class keyword.
