At early age, I developed a passion for languages. I wanted to understand people from different cultures and read books written in their original languages. By the age of 20 , long time ago :), I managed to speak five languages. Thanks to the impressive developments in information, I shifted my passion toward "Computers", "Information" and how I can communicate effectively using these media.
I try to combine success with my passion and that why I chose to pursue a career in Academia with focus in research with endless learning and communication.
I guess your linguistic ability helped your skills in computing languages. It is amazing to speak five languages, which is a great gift. You are not an international student but real "international" student. :)
