    <span>by Craig Berger</span><br><span><br></span><span>If you're like me, you've found yourself in this position before: sitting at your computer with Microsoft Word on the screen and ready to go, staring at a blank document, typing 58 first sentences and repeatedly hitting backspace, erasing each one. Coffee doesn't help. Music doesn't help. Nothing I write is good enough. I <em>think</em> I know what I want to say, but the words just don't fully capture the point. And whatever I do end up writing, I <em>don't</em> want to be misunderstood.</span><br><span><br></span><span>It sounds like writer's block, but it didn't take long for me to realize it was much more than that. I felt this sense of pressure to <em>get it right </em>a number of times as an undergraduate student and in grad school, <a href="http://my.umbc.edu/groups/co-create/news/26995" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">leading me to develop a chronic case of procrastination</a> born out of a fear of not being perfect. I feared committing to words because I didn't want people to attribute opinions, words, or thoughts to me that I didn't mean to communicate.</span><br><span><br></span><span>As I look back now, I realize that this frustration wasn't just restricted to those late-night binge writing sessions; those moments were just microcosms for how I was experiencing life. What if I tried things and failed? What if I raised my hand to answer a question in class and I completely whiffed on the answer, <em>in public</em>? What if I ran for a student government position and lost? What if I cared about an issue, began working on it, and either ran out of time or ran into a wall? And worst of all, what if I acknowledged this fear and learned that no one else felt like I did?</span><br><span><br></span><span>I remember looking around and wondering of my peers, "how is it so easy for them to put things down on paper?" "How do they speak in class so confidently, with no apparent care in the world?" "How do they get break after break?" These thoughts became increasingly paralyzing, as they led me to constantly conduct cost/benefit analyses with everything I experienced. The result was years of relying on luck, half-measures, and nights of no sleep. After all, if I didn't invest 100 percent, if I didn't give myself enough time to put all of my energy into assignments, I had that crutch on which I could rely: <em>I didn't get the best grade/result, but I know that if I had actually, fully tried, I would have.</em></span><br><span><br></span><span>Not until grad school did I realize how much I was depriving myself of life by thinking that way. To their credit, my parents always told me that I am who I am and that all I needed to do was to try my best. But society tells us we need to be perfect, and this pressure to do well, to be fully understood, and to be well-liked by my peers made it tough to abide by my parents' ostensibly relaxed standard. </span><br><span><br></span><span>If I could go back in time 10 years and give myself advice, I'd say this: <em>just write</em><em>.</em> You don't have to be perfect. It's OK to not be fully bought into the words you use, or actions you take, or even to an identity you own. Regardless of how well they may hide it, everyone else is fighting a hard battle in one way or another, and the more you obsess about your deficiencies in relation to their strengths, the fewer gifts you observe in yourself. If you're misunderstood when trying to say something or do something you actually believe, is anyone going to remember that moment in time in, say, 75 years? Probably not. They're more likely to remember that you were the best you that you could be, and in being that person, you made others feel like they could be the same.</span><br><span><br></span><em><span><a href="http://cocreateumbc.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">Co-Create UMBC</a> is a blog for and about UMBC, written by <a href="http://osl.umbc.edu/about/staff/david_hoffman/" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">David Hoffman</a> and <a href="http://osl.umbc.edu/about/staff/craig_berger/" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">Craig Berger</a> from <a href="http://osl.umbc.edu/" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">UMBC Student Life</a>.

    <p>For the Hip-Hop Fans: Remember the times when you had those long arguments with your friends about who the better rapper is?  Remember how it always ended up in a stalemate because there was no evidence to back your argument? Well, look no further!  <a href="http://rapalytics.com" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">Rapalytics</a> is a one-stop site dedicated to extracting and presenting all the important analytics from Rap lyrics that separate a good rapper from a great one!</p>
    <p>For the Data Science Nerds: Remember how indestructible your trained NLP tools were? Want to see how they act under pressure from text they have never seen before? Come take a look at how traditional NLP tools fair against text as complex as Rap and explore opportunities to design and build systems that handle much more than well-formed English text.</p>

<Title>Student Scholarship Q&amp;A: Jonathon Brewster, computer science</Title>
<Body>
<![CDATA[
    <div class="html-content">
    <img width="150" height="150" src="https://umbc.edu/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/photo-3-150x150.jpg" alt="" style="max-width: 100%; height: auto;"><p><em>Every so often, we highlight the importance of student scholarships by introducing you to the very students they help to succeed. Today, we’re featuring <strong>Jonathon Brewster ‘15, computer science,</strong> who is an Alumni Association Scholarship recipient.</em></p>
    <p><strong>Name:</strong> Jonathon Brewster<br>
    <strong>Major:</strong> Computer Science<br>
    <strong>Extra Curricular Activities:</strong> Assistant Scoutmaster for Troop 355<br>
    <strong>Scholarship received:</strong> Alumni Association Scholarship<a href="https://umbcgiving.files.wordpress.com/2014/08/photo-3.jpg" rel="nofollow external" class="bo"><img src="http://umbcgiving.files.wordpress.com/2014/08/photo-3.jpg?w=225" alt="photo-3" width="225" height="300" style="max-width: 100%; height: auto;"></a></p>
    <p><strong>Q: Why did you decide to attend UMBC?</strong><br>
    I decided to attend UMBC because of UMBC’s reputation for having one of the best STEM programs. I had discovered this because my brother, who also attended UMBC, had told me about these programs and how UMBC would be a great school for me to attend.</p>
    <p><strong>Q: What’s been the most amazing discovery you’ve made so far as a student here?</strong><br>
    Computer programming and what I can do with it.</p>
    <p><strong>Q: Tell us about a class or club that has really opened your mind.</strong><br>
    Introduction to Computer Science for beginners (CMSC 104) changed my life. Before that class I did not know what I was going to do with my life, and I had no major. Then Mr. John Park, professor of CMSC 104, showed me many great ideas with programming a computer. After completing this course, I now have a major and a dream to be the best programmer I can be.</p>
    <p><strong>Q: How important is it to you as a student to get scholarship support?</strong><br>
    It is very important. Students don’t have a lot of money, and it’s hard to pay for college when you have little time for a job from all the classes you are taking. With scholarship support, I am able to keep paying my way to a better job through quality education.</p>
    <p><strong>Q: What are you most proud of accomplishing in your time at UMBC?</strong><br>
    Finding my career path and getting good grades.</p>
    <p><strong>Q: What would you say to the people who provided your scholarship?</strong><br>
    I would like to say thank you for helping support my future and keeping my dreams of being a great programmer alive.</p>
    <p><strong>Q: What do you hope to do after graduation?</strong><br>
    I hope to go to graduate school to get my Master of Science degree in Computer Science. After completing my masters degree, I would like to work for Google to help with projects like the Google car.</p>

    <p>The <a href="http://www.meetup.com/Baltimore-Code-Craftsmanship/" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">Baltimore Code Craftsmanship</a> meetup group will hold its monthly meeting at 6:30pm on Thursday, September 18 at <a href="http://www.betamore.com/" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">Betamore</a> (1111 Light St.) in Baltimore (<a href="http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&amp;hl=en&amp;q=1111+Light+Street%2C+4th+Floor%2C+Baltimore%2C+MD%2C+21230%2C+us" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">map</a>). The meetup is for the students and software developers in the Baltimore area that care about the quality of their work and want to practice and improve their programming skills, share what they know and learn new things from others.</p>
    <p>The meetup is a hands on coding user group with no presentations. Each meeting will be a dojo where we will go through a challenging software craftsmanship exercise that focuses on clean code, test-driven development, design patterns, and refactoring. We will pair up and practice on a kata in order to learn and apply the values, principles, and disciplines of software craftsmanship. It’s also a great way to meet others in Baltimore’s computing community to network and find out about internships and jobs.</p>
    <p>The September meeting will go through the next <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Test-driven_development" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">Test-Driven Development</a> (TDD) exercise focusing on solutions using pair programming, test-driven development, clean code and refactoring. </p>
    <p>Come with your laptop equipped with your favorite programming and unit testing environment. Be prepared to pair up, code, learn, share and have fun!</p>

<Title>Student Scholarship Q&amp;A: Jonathon Brewster, computer science</Title>
<Body>
<![CDATA[
    <div class="html-content">
    <p><em>Every so often, we highlight the importance of student scholarships by introducing you to the very students they help to succeed. Today, we’re featuring <strong>Jonathon Brewster ‘15, computer science,</strong> who is an Alumni Association Scholarship recipient.</em></p>
    <p><strong>Name:</strong> Jonathon Brewster<br>
    <strong>Major:</strong> Computer Science<br>
    <strong>Extra Curricular Activities:</strong> Assistant Scoutmaster for Troop 355<br>
    <strong>Scholarship received:</strong> Alumni Association Scholarship<a href="https://umbcgiving.files.wordpress.com/2014/08/photo-3.jpg" rel="nofollow external" class="bo"><img src="http://umbcgiving.files.wordpress.com/2014/08/photo-3.jpg?w=225&amp;h=300" alt="photo-3" width="225" height="300" style="max-width: 100%; height: auto;"></a></p>
    <p><strong>Q: Why did you decide to attend UMBC?</strong><br>
    I decided to attend UMBC because of UMBC’s reputation for having one of the best STEM programs. I had discovered this because my brother, who also attended UMBC, had told me about these programs and how UMBC would be a great school for me to attend.</p>
    <p><strong>Q: What’s been the most amazing discovery you’ve made so far as a student here?</strong><br>
    Computer programming and what I can do with it.</p>
    <p><strong>Q: Tell us about a class or club that has really opened your mind.</strong><br>
    Introduction to Computer Science for beginners (CMSC 104) changed my life. Before that class I did not know what I was going to do with my life, and I had no major. Then Mr. John Park, professor of CMSC 104, showed me many great ideas with programming a computer. After completing this course, I now have a major and a dream to be the best programmer I can be.</p>
    <p><strong>Q: How important is it to you as a student to get scholarship support?</strong><br>
    It is very important. Students don’t have a lot of money, and it’s hard to pay for college when you have little time for a job from all the classes you are taking. With scholarship support, I am able to keep paying my way to a better job through quality education.</p>
    <p><strong>Q: What are you most proud of accomplishing in your time at UMBC?</strong><br>
    Finding my career path and getting good grades.</p>
    <p><strong>Q: What would you say to the people who provided your scholarship?</strong><br>
    I would like to say thank you for helping support my future and keeping my dreams of being a great programmer alive.</p>
    <p><strong>Q: What do you hope to do after graduation?</strong><br>
    I hope to go to graduate school to get my Master of Science degree in Computer Science. After completing my masters degree, I would like to work for Google to help with projects like the Google car.</p>
