My name is Desire’ Bounds and I am from Oklahoma City, OK. I moved to Oklahoma when I was younger so I decided to come to Mason because it was closer to home. Another reason I decided to come to Mason was because it is so close to the D.C. area which means more job opportunities.
I didn’t always want to be an engineer, at first I had wanted to become a lawyer. I didn’t always want to be a computer engineer either it was computer science at first. I was just so confused on which one I wanted to do. I didn’t know which one would be the best one for me. The more I thought about it I thought that I would be better off taking the engineering path. After I decided that I wanted to an engineer I started researching it on my own to try and get a feel for what computer engineers actually did. I also looked up their salaries to see how much average engineers get paid which is another reason to why I’m sticking to this major. After my junior year in high school I just became so caught up in computers it was all I could think about. I am just so fascinated with everything about them. I plan to get masters in computer engineering and hopefully have a very successful job.
