The story of DB Cooper revolves around the mysterious hijacking of Northwest Orient Airline's Flight 305 in Washington on November 24th, 1971. A man who identified himself as Dan Cooper demanded $200,000 and four parachutes, threatening a bomb on board. After securing the ransom and releasing passengers in Seattle, Cooper instructed the pilot to fly to Mexico City, but due to fuel constraints, they landed in Reno, Nevada. During the stop, Cooper disappeared with the money and one parachute. Despite an extensive search, the investigation into Cooper's identity and whereabouts has endured for decades, marked by numerous dead ends and mysteries.

“I think one of the most difficult decisions I ever had to make was choosing what major and university to apply for after graduating from high school. I had to make this decision about 3 years ago, at which time I was at a crossroads in my life, and had to decide something that I knew would affect my whole future life in a pretty short space of time. 

Since I can remember, I loved anything to do with computers, and knew I wanted to further my studies in something related to computers, especially programming. After a few weeks of research on the internet, I narrowed my choice down to two universities. I was at my wits end trying  to make a decision between these two universities, when my mother reminded me that two of my cousins had both graduated in computer science. After some really sound advice from my cousins I decided to apply to the university which specialised in coding.

I can happily say that I think I made a really good decision, thanks to the great advice from my cousins, and I'm really happy with my choice, as well as with what I have learned in the last 3 years. I’m also feeling very confident about my future, and because of making this decision, I now feel very confident that I will find a good job in the future.
