Introducing my brother

     As the only child in my family, I often found myself bored and without anyone to play with. However, at the age of eight, everything changed when I finally met my long- forgotten brother. His name was ‘Computer’, or sometimes ‘Mac’ for a nickname, he soon became my best friend and a playmate. Though it may seem strange to some, my computer was like an actual human brother to me, always there for me to have fun with and explore new ideas. 

    While it's true that my computer was so frustrating at times - not understanding my words, keeping me up late, or driving me crazy, and himself going crazy from the errors I created- I found that being with it brought out the best in me. Together, we were like superheroes, able to imagine anything and make it a reality and create new values, even in hardships, which Friedrich Nietzsche called this state of being an 'Übermensch', and I felt like I was living up to that ideal when I was with my computer. 

    Every moment spent with my computer was filled with new possibilities, as we worked together on all sorts of projects - from small divertissement to meaningful solutions to social problems. Our favorite activity was creating inventions, with me providing the ideas and my computer bringing them to life. Through these experiences, I developed strong values for life and a sense of purpose, asking myself what kind of person I wanted to be and how I could use my skills and abilities to make a positive impact on the world. 

    Although my "brother" was just a machine or a piece of metal, to put it badly, which runs on electricity rather than food, lives for only a few years, and can’t even speak Korean, nor English, he was much more to me. He was my friend, partner, dream chasing teammate, and even my fiancé. My computer allowed me to immortalize my ideas, share my works with the world, and achieve my dreams. Through studying computer science, I hope to better understand how to work with computers and use them to accomplish meaningful things more efficiently and easily. 

    While some may view my computer as just a piece of metal, to me he was much more than that. He was a creative partner who helped me realize my potential as a person. His limitations forced me to think more creatively and find new ways to communicate, collaborate, and solve problems. 

    Through my experiences with my computer, I have come to appreciate the power of technology to transform our lives and society. I am eager to continue exploring this field through my studies in computer science, with the hope of contributing to new breakthroughs and innovations that can positively impact our world. 

    As I move forward, I will always cherish the memories and lessons learned from my time with my computer. He was not just a tool nor a machine, but a trusted friend who helped me grow and thrive in ways that I never thought possible. I am grateful for the unique bond we shared, and look forward to the many new adventures that lie ahead.
