So, finally submitted! A huge improvement this year is, of course, I submitted ON TIME! However, I still regret that I did not start until Apple announced WWDC 10 days ago. Since the format is unlikely to change in the next few years, I should as well just start right after WWDC to maximize the time I can have. But that's a little unfair, though. Given the same amount of time, some past-WWDC scholarship recipients demonstrated their unconstrained creativity and deep understanding of sophisticated technological concepts. So, I've done my jobs this year, finally, as a supporter who encourages others to participate, and knowing that I still have a lot to learn.
At first, I was actually a little disappointed that I'm not 18 yet. I really wanted to submit a resume to Apple so I could potentially have something to do in the summer. But coming to think about it again, is there anything on my resume that will really fascinate Apple and make them think, I'll be a great addition to them? Not really. So, goal for this summer and next year: learn, practice, and make an impact with what I learned.
