My name is John Smith and I am a student at the University of California, Berkeley. I am currently a sophomore majoring in Computer Science and minoring in Mathematics. I chose to pursue this major because I have always been passionate about technology and the way it can be used to solve problems.

I have had the opportunity to explore my interest in technology through various courses and extracurricular activities. In my freshman year, I took a course in computer programming and I was able to develop my skills in coding and problem solving. I was also able to gain experience in web development and design. Additionally, I was a member of the Robotics Club, where I was able to design and build robots for competitions. This experience further developed my knowledge of computer science and engineering principles.

Furthermore, I have been able to apply my knowledge of computer science and mathematics to my academic work. In my mathematics courses, I have been able to use my programming skills to develop algorithms that can be used to solve various problems. Additionally, I have been able to use my knowledge of mathematics to analyze data and develop models to better understand the world around us.

In addition to my academic pursuits, I have also been involved in various extracurricular activities. I am a member of the campus newspaper, where I have written articles on various topics. I am also a member of the debate team, where I have gained experience in public speaking and critical thinking. I am also a member of the student government, where I have been able to gain experience in leadership and communication.

Overall, I believe that my interest in computer science and mathematics, combined with my experience in extracurricular activities, have prepared me to become a successful student at the University of California, Berkeley. I am confident that I will be able to use the skills I have developed to make an impact in the field of computer science and mathematics.
