Welcome!
My name is Terrance Chang, I am a freshman in GITA 2 at
BOHS.
Last year in Jr. High, I took GITA 1 and learned the basics of computer science and how the field works. The course taught a strong work ethic in me, which has been beneficial throughout my academic journey. We focused on C# as the programming language, and I enjoyed using Visual Studio's user-friendly drag-and-drop programming environment.
This year in GITA 2 we are learning about a completely
different side of computer science. I've enjoyed the web
development side of the class. I think that HTML is very easy
to use language that isn't that hard to get a hold of. This
year should be fun and I am looking forward to learning more
about web development.
I wish to attend the University of California, Irvine (UCI). My goal is to pursue a degree in cybersecurity while actively participating in wrestling. I aim to excel academically by achieving straight A's in every semester of my high school journey at BOHS. Additionally, I plan to be actively involved in various clubs on campus to enrich my overall college experience.
I have a strong inclination towards a career in cybersecurity, and my secondary interest lies in the field of software development. The idea of securing digital systems and creating innovative software solutions deeply relates with my professional goals. This dual interest allows me to engage with both the defensive aspects of cybersecurity and the creative process of software development.
My school is located at 789 Wildcat Way, Brea, CA. Their
phone number is (714) 990-7850. The school website is

I am taking two AP classes this year. Since I am a freshman
those are the only APs I can take. I am taking AP human
geography and AP computer science principles. AP computer
science principles is the same as GITA 2. I've enjoyed both
of these classes, my one big challenge is in HUG and
remembering to write in full sentences. Other than that I've
been able to stay on top of work in both classes and am doing
well.
Currently I am involved with Jesus Club on campus and with
Combat Sports Club. I enjoy both of these clubs for different
reasons. I like Jesus club because of the ability to share a
different part of my life/spend time with people from my
church. I enjoy combat sports club because I get to hang out
with people on the wrestling team and at the same time review
matches and tapes so I can get better.
I volunteer at animal shelters, providing care and support to homeless animals, while also actively participating in the Chinese club to promote cultural exchange and understanding.
