This website was created by myself, JD Holloway. I am a senior at East Hall and currently participating in the Honors Mentorship Program of Hall County. With this program, I was able to explore my career interests. I started out working in the field of civil engineering, but realized that my passion lie more in technology. This led me to discover computer engineering.
My passion for technology has been apparent throughout my life. When I was young, I loved breaking apart old radios and such just to see the electronics inside. As I grew older, computers became a large part of my life, as it did in my friend's lives also. I did nearly everything on my computer. Write essays, research, game, meet new people are such examples. To be able to design the next great computer and make people's lives better would be amazing. With my love for technology and computers, I began searching for a new mentorship.
While I was unable to find a local computer engineer, I was able to work closely to computers. I interned at Hall County M.I.S. There I was able to work with computers and networking. I enjoyed my time there just being around all the technology and seeing how it all works together. I was able to see how this small group of people maintained the network and computer systems for hall county. Seeing all of this made me more interested in engineering these technologies. I began telling my friends about my interest and all the technology I have been around. They seemed to not even know what a computer engineer does. They didn't realize that it was computer engineer's work that they take for granted every day. This provided me with a topic for my project.
