When I was a little boy. A computer was my most beautiful dream. I often used my cousin’s, and it was very uncomfortable. I always wished that I can have one for my own.
2003, my parents decided to buy me a computer. I was almost crazy because of happiness; “Great” I thought, but they just gave me a little money. Then I decided to build my own, so that I can use money wisely.
My asked my cousin to help me, and we started our job with $700. We read the reviews in the magazines; we spent 3 months checking the price at the store everyday, and we also asked my cousin’s friends in America and Singapore if they could bring us some cheaper stuff.
After shopping, we started to build the computer. We just needed 45 minutes for the first time, but it got trouble at the first test, too. Then we had to do it again, but it still got problem. We spent a whole week doing many time until it could work well. Finally, it was done. “Phew !”
That was my first experience about computer. Since that time, I realized how interesting computers are. That effects my life a lot. It created a new feeling for me, the love for computer and engineering. That’s the reason why I chose computer engineering as my major.

Hi Loc - I appreciate that you kept working at your posting even though you knew it would be late. Don't worry about that!
Your parents are very wise! they knew that you wanted a computer very badly, and by giving you only a little bit of money, they furnished you with the chance to really learn about one by making it. You and your cousin are very clever for being able to make your own computer; I couldn't do that!
Your score: 20/20
