It was great to read the good news in this post :
All that said, I do enjoy being a computer scientist at Stanford. I love learning how to become self-sufficient when it comes to building out my ideas into actual products and apps. In addition, the race and gender demographic for computer science majors here appears to be slightly more balanced compared to peer institutions. And the Stanford name comes with a ridiculous amount of power. It is a luxury to be able to drop it in conversations whenever I need to immediately be taken seriously. It is my hope that, with some of the projects I am working on this summer, I can put that power to good use by creating more spaces for minorities in technology to thrive and feel welcome.
I LOVE the fact that you sound like an enthousiastic cs student. I LOVE to read that it is in fact possible to be a CS student first, and black and female is just some detail about you that's pretty much irrelevant when we're talking about Stanford education and programming and javascript.
