Everyone has their passions... Those things in their life in which when participating, they have that fiery glow in their eyes. For me, solving complicated programming problems and coming up with the best algorithms to do very interesting things gives me that fire. Throughout my education, I was assigned homework and projects that I puzzled my way through, but I also took the initiative to explore many other problems that I discovered in my own personal time. Solving a challenging logical problem is like throwing the game winning pass or rolling a Yahtzee, and it fuels me to continue advancing my abilities.
