Campus Connect Engagement Contest Week 6 - My Favorite and Most Helpful Tech Device On Campus. By @mjerry

Hello everyone! I am privilege and excited to be here and to participate in this great contest about my favorite and most helpful device while in campus. This is actually my first contest here in this community and I'm so happy to be here.

In the technology era we are today, it is practically impossible for someone to say he/she did not use any technology device while in campus, those devices assist in learning, getting information and most importantly research and recreation purposes.

I have used different devices while in campus but I shall be sharing with you my favorite device among them all which assisted me alot while in campus.

My favorite device while in campus was my Laptop. I bought my laptop after my first semester 100 level while in school and it really helps me alot.

I studied B.sc Accountancy and we had a lot of practice on the spreadsheet which requires us make automated financial statement, we did much of theory and only few practical. We were also introduce to other accounting tools like the SPSS, EViews, Quickbooks and Stata which were use for companies primary and secondary data analyses. I was so eager to learn this things to a reasonable extend and my phone along can not contain all this applications.

Also in perspective of assignments and research I don't need to go to any cafe for that but I do it my self, I don't only do research for my self but assist other to do their assignment and get paid. My laptop did not just serve as my best device while in campus but as my best freind, assistant teacher and income earning assistant.

My Laptop (H.P 12) is so unique among many other device I used. It is fast, it those not freez if multitask, it battery life last for 8 hours if fully charged and it have a large memory space.

There are numerous reasons why I love making use of my laptop in school but basically I must say it help me perfect what I learn so far in Automated Accounting and Data computing. I have been thought more of the theorical aspect of it but less practical, I then source material online and learn advance with the basics I was taught, permit me to share just a few with you what I learn, practice and do it to others to even fetch money for my self while in campus;

I learned and master the command in spreadsheet so I visited a cyber cafe and I heard the manager complaining of their financial statements not balancing, I then introduce my self and told him I can help them out, they gave me a chance. I then prepared a statement of profit or loss which automatically compute Profit after inserting daily.

I was also priviledge to do my project with my self and use STATA (Accounting tools) to compute liquidity ratio af banks. After doing that I assisted someone to do it and was well paid all while in campus.

I will never forget when I organize tutorials for my friends to teach and explain more to them on Publish Account, they were very happy for that and I aswell enjoy the priviledge to teach them.

In summary of all that, my Laptop assisted me to Graduate with not just only the certification but with the practical knowledge of what I learned so far while in campus, it also assisted me financially and cut down cost for me.

Other reason why I love making use of my Laptop include;

1. During the Corona Virus pendamic lockdown in year 2020, we attended several lecture online and I use my laptop to fully participate in the online class with no network issue.
2. I love using my Laptop because it is my major not book. If lecture material are shared in PDF or Docx formats I save my own in my laptop which I use it to read and research.
3. My laptop is my campanion when I am stressed out frustrated, I use it to play games or watch movie to refresh my brain because reading without play make jack a dull boy😉
4. I use my own laptop for seminar presentation because I understand more than other device, so I set it the way I want it to be and it give me the best result.

In conclusion, we all have the device we value most while in campus but to what extent those that device impact to the success of our studies? Is not all about having those device but how do we discipline our self to use them? At first, I tought my phone was okey for me but I needed something more to support me fully in my academic pursuits and my course of study.

And Up till knw, I don't use my certificate to get money from the course i studied in school but I use the knowledge I gain.
