    This is for some of you incoming freshman who may be worried about cs if u have never coded before:
    I was a freshman data science major last year and I had never written a single line of code. I got a C in my intro to Java course and I was very disappointed as it was something I really want to pursue. I was worried about my performance in the next course Software 1, and if my grade would be lower. I worked on my own projects to better understand the logic and I ended up finishing with an A in the next course, and this was all over the course of one winter break! Now I’m making apps with swiftUI and solving data science machine learning problems in python! And this was all over the course of a year! Don’t be afraid if you struggle early on, it’s a part of the journey.

      Thank you so much for this! You literally saved my college dilemma, doubts and fears! So, thank for this. To be honest I was hesitant to continue to pursue computer science and choose it as my course for University because I literally am like a boomer when it comes to technology 😅 but I knew I wanted to pursue it because I really found technology interesting. Even my family members were doubting I'll be successful if i chose computer science because they know I suck at technology plus I have been seeing a lot of youtube videos talking about how you'll regret choosing computer science, so that really scared me too. But because of this one comment, I got really encouraged.

    Another thing I've found helpful as a CS major is to make sure to capitalize on those required gen-ed classes (subjects like History, English, Philosophy, etc.). Having a spare 100-level "Intro to X" class in your workload during a tough quarter doing hours upon hours of Java/Python can really defray the pressure. Many of these are also just as good when taken online as well!

      You are so, so correct. As someone who changed majors from philosophy to CS, I realized that these abstract and inner dialogue based backgrounds ( no matter how short the class) are pivotal towards a development in a “practical” tech field. I recommend taking these classes to my friends all the time and those who have always agree that it’s changed their view in both their work and personal lives

    Great tips! I would also like to say that understanding logic is very important. My professor really stressed this in my first programming class. He said that he has interviewed graduates who got through their entire college career through trial and error. I think that he is right. Unless you can explain every single piece of your code, line by line, you don't really understand the logic behind it.
    In fact, he makes us go to the lab and the TA asks us to explain our code line by line if we want the full marks on the assignment.

    I know that visual arts hobbies(drawing, 3D modeling, painting, etc.) are very unpopular hobbies for programmers and CS majors compared to music, working, out, etc.
    But personally, I find drawing and 3D modeling to greatly compliment my programming skills. Drawing is one of my favorite past times before. It helped train my attention to details. Because to be a programmer, you need good attention to details. It's good to take a break from programming every once in a while and do something like drawing.
    3D modeling is a lot easier than drawing since it requires less skill but it needs you to know the functionalities of each options and tools. I could greatly relate 3D modeling to programming becomes both have automated feeling. 3D modeling also has those Arrays, Booleans, and the Nodes. In fact, 3D modeling in Blender can be done in Python because you can script it in that language!
    I honestly wish that more programmers wouldn't be afraid in trying their hand out in drawing or 3D modeling. It feels lonely for me to know that I am one of the very rare CS majors/programmers that love to do visual arts.
    Edit: Wow! I just realized that someone like me isn't so rare. So many incoming or current Computer Science students these days are into visual arts.
    Update on my situation: this pandemic is screwing up our financial situation. As a result I will stop going to college in favor of working in call centers which I honestly prefer since I just wanted a normal, simple life while pursuing my hobbies like drawing.
    At least compared to pursuing computer science in college, I won't have to force myself to learn something constantly that I don't like on my free time and I get to draw instead.

    I'm in my last year of university. While I've been hearing "Uni is the best place to get connections" ever since my freshman year, I don't really see how it lasts. How relevant are the connections to you and your future career? Making friends in club and societies is indeed fun but it just feels not that helpful to future development. Making friends in CS club feels a bit on-purpose? I made so many friends in first year and second year of uni from all over the places, but they didn't just quite last, because I have a capacity and I can't spend all my times to catch up with them, and friendship just fades away without regular catch up. Would love to hear some opinions.

    • @MSneberger
      @MSneberger 3 ปีที่แล้ว +23

      Hopefully you will find that when you come across those friends you made years from now that it will feel just like you saw them last week and you are still friends, so maybe if one of them is at a company you want to move to, or if you are at a company they want to move to that you might be able to help each other out. That is how networking works. It's not like having a husband or wife.

    Mrs. Mayuko...thanks for the information about your college experience. What I am really interested in is, "How does it feel to be an American of Asian descent?" I am asking because my wife is Asian and so is my son, multi-ethnic thanks to me. I am part Asian but my African American heritage stands out beyond my European/Asian heritage. What advice would you give as to what can help an Asian child feel safe and seen in an environment where it is predominantly White? Any ideas are appreciated from your perspective, Ma'am! Thanks and may God bless you and your husband always!

    • @hellomayuko
      @hellomayuko  4 ปีที่แล้ว +12

      Hi Dexter, thanks always for your support!!! I have two ideas here - one is to have open and honest conversations with your son about race, culture, and heritage. In my teenage years, it was really hard for me to understand who I was culturally, and the friends I surrounded myself with during that time really helped me to gain perspective. My parents also were the ones who taught me everything I know about Japanese culture, and it helped to talk to them about how to put my Japanese identity in reference with my American one. In the end I realized that being bi-cultural in my case would mean that I would always be between two cultures, but it also meant that I could also choose my favorite parts from each to lead my life. Having conversations with your son and wife I think could really help him feel seen and make sense of himself and the world, especially as he starts asking questions about who he is. The other thing I would say is to introduce him to role models, especially those he identifies with. I found mine through Asian American youtubers who were popular in the late 00's and early 10's, and it really helped to be able to look up to people who were a little older, looked like me, and had similar experiences as I did. The fact that you're asking this question to begin with means that your son already has the support of his family which is incredible, so I hope you all can grow together on this journey!

My wife, Maria, and I both show your videos to our son, Zion, and he chuckles now. I am looking for an Asian American Alliance near us to give our son plenty of individuals who will look like him. I want to live for 6 months stateside and 6 months in South Korea or Singapore. I studied Japanese for 7 years but I need to learn Mandarin and Korean so we will have more choices. Thanks again and I hope that you know that you are amazing to our family! Take care and have fun with hubby before everything opens back up! Enjoy your quiet time together! Be blessed!

And then now I am back to university, I kinda experienced most of the things before about the uni, especially the coding things. So they don’t seem to excite me anymore, I feel so bored, all the people near me are just amateur freshman (i dun mean i am mature and know everything, but you get the idea) , I am just finding it hard to enjoy the university life like a student

    When I went to university, I sacrificed my social life, which I think is actually the most important one. I just focused on my grades and my health instead. However, there will always be another chance to fix your health, and you will always be able to keep learning after college (which is more important than your grades), but you will most likely wont have the same chance to reach out to as many peers as you can when you are in college, but if you could do all three, thats great too.
