                How have computers been used in my personal education? This is a great question. Computers have been around and a part of my birth sense I was born from the input of the time I was bon how many pounds I was and the name my parents gave me. As I continued on through elementary school using computers was a big learning point. In elementary school we would use computers to learn how to do math, how to spell and to play games. At home I remember going to stores and buying computer games to use at home on our computer. In this essay I will discuss and talk about three major parts of how computers have educated me and help me throughout life. I will begin with discussing how I was educated on computers in jr high and onto high school. I will than talk about how computers helped me out while on my mission in Seattle Washington and then I will finally discuss how computers help me in my work.

                Being educated on computers in jr high and throughout high school. In jr high I had my first computer class I would say still to this day that class was the most informative computer class I have taken and probably where I have learned the most. The teacher teaching this class was very nice and willing to help you individually if you didn’t understand something. I learned more about using word, excel and most of the windows offices. In high school I continued my education learning about computers. Here I learned even more about using word, excel and Microsoft office. We also learned how to create websites, movies and many more cool features you can do with the touch of a button. One thing I have always struggled with is I have to look at the key board when I am typing it is hard for me to type while looking at the computer screen. The class in jr high and the class in high school helped me get better at typing.

                How computers helped me on my mission. Computers where a big part of my mission especially to help with communicating with my family while serving in Washington Seattle. Every preparation day on my mission we would go to the library and email our family, friends and our mission president each week. I always looked forward to this day on my mission to be able to communicate family and friends as well as my mission president. This experience made me very grateful for computers and the ability they have to help people in whatever task they are trying to accomplish.

                How computers help me in my work. Computers are a big part of my job I am constantly using a computer to write reports, look at bids, create drawings, put in notes or look up products. Computers are a big part of a lot of jobs these days

                In conclusion while doing this assignment I have had the chance to look back and see what role computers have played in my life and being educated on them. Computers are a big part of our life’s and are becoming more and more a part of our life’s each day. I hope that we all use them wisely and create great things by the click of a button.
