Graduation Speech : Education From An Ordinary Institute

The benefits and opportunities to embrace engineering far outweigh the difficulties in the process, but despite this, my pure love for mathematics has been the major contributor to my ambitions. From a young age, I found math incredibly enjoyable. The order and consistency found through something as simple as the order of operations served as a driving force to my curiosity and dedication to the subject. As the mathematical concepts intensified, I was able to adequately keep up and enjoy the journey along the way. While signing up for my senior year classes, the decision to take calculus was made easily. While speaking with the instructor, Yvonne Sebastian, I discovered that her love for math was derived from similar feelings. In an interview with Sebastian, she stated, “Math is a beautiful thing. Numbers are incredibly simple, but they can be used to calculate very complex scenarios. No matter how difficult a problem may seem, there is always a solution, an answer that can be found and understood through the power of math” (Y. Sebastian, personal communication, February 14, 2017). Interacting with a teacher who understood to a great level of degree my similar feelings regarding math has been an incredible motivator in my desire to pursue a career which incorporates mathematics frequently. For any individual to be happy with their occupation, I would argue that they must experience a desire to progress

When living in America, the chances of one having received some form of general education are high. Schools come in all shapes and sizes to accommodate the needs and preferences of parents and students; they can range between the extremes of religious to liberal arts and private to public education. In E.B. White’s “Education”, he describes his son’s shift from a city private school to a country public school. In contrast, the public education I received before entering college was very different from the experiences of White’s son as a child.

The public education system has been in place for enough time to know the many goals it has for students. Horace Mann allowed his sole purpose to present equal opportunity to students so they can experience wealth. The idea that if a person attends public school they will have the equal opportunity to be wealthy and have any career they wish. However, “equality does not mean that everyone will have equal incomes and equal status” (Spring, 2013, p. 66).

Career countdown taught me many things about how I’m going to prepare for college and the future after it. From filling out an application to learning what is offered at the colleges I’m interested in. Career countdown also gave me good ideas on what I would be interested in majoring in after college. In this paper I will tell you want knowledge I have gained throughout the last six weeks of this career countdown class.

A decade or two ago, a college education was considered more so a privilege rather than a choice. Today, our society takes education for granted by opting out of it because of the expenses, the stress and many other reasons that comes with going to school. Is a college education still worth having? Arguments will continually arise that it is no longer needed to be successful in today’s world. However, research and statistics continually prove that having one will remain far more beneficial than not earning one. Your time in college is the prime time for you to explore your options, make lifelong connections, and discover your strengths and weaknesses while working to earn something that will give you the feeling of pride. Life after college is significantly better for college graduates because they attract high paying employers which in turn will help earn a higher income, not to mention the added perks that will provide security and satisfaction in life. Above all those reasons, getting an education is an example and a legacy you can pass on to your children.

It has become apparent now more than ever that having a college education is an unavoidable requisite in order to better ourselves. Every year thousands of students graduate high school and start to enroll in college. Another key factor in the decision towards obtaining a college degree is the example the young student saw at home; however, not all of the young students entering college come from a family with college graduate parents, which can play as a huge motivation in their path toward their college degree. Many people see this as the start of a new journey into the path of success since most Americans grow up with the idea that a college education will help us better our lives as well as to bring us success. According to Scott-Clayton from Columbia University, “Individuals with bachelor’s degrees earn about 60 percent more than those with just a high school diploma.” Today, we must not only acquire a high school education, but also graduate with a Bachelor’s degree. A college degree itself won’t guarantee you success, but it would give you the necessary tools and knowledge to achieve economic and personal success. In the future, the knowledge you achieved from your college education will become beneficial in plenty of ways.

Education has always been the topmost priority in my life. I finished my schooling under Karnataka Secondary Education Examination Board and passed out with an excellent result of 89.60%. As I was fascinated with mathematics and science concepts I decided to take up science stream at the pre university level. I passed out with a result of

But the greatest advantage of involving myself in these activities was that I developed the ability to multi-task effectively and gaining working experience in group and with technical faculty. Besides the college academics I was actively involved in the extracurricular activities. I represented my college in Cricket and Debate competitions. I wanted to be self-esteem my education and worked part-time in Unic Electronics. I was also an active amateur nature lover. The driving force behind all this was my aim to develop all the facets of my personality. In this process I could not achieve the grades I wanted to in the first and second year. But soon I garnered the skill of proper allocation of time and energy. I did well in the 3rd year and 4th year of Engineering. Moreover, I do not feel that the marks I scored are the lone indicators of my understanding of the subject. A pointed reason to multiplication my reliance is the final year of my

Later in my plus two I had opted a stream which has its majors in Mathematics and Physics. Fortunately I got to know that these are the two subjects which are majorly required to be a good engineer. I strove hard to get a good command over the basics underlying these subjects and secured with good percentage. All these activities used as a driving force for me to take up mechanical engineering for my under graduation with an intense urge to delve into the challenging

My bent towards mathematics and analytical skills has impelled me to choose mathematics, physics and chemistry as my major at my 10+2. A rank in the top 1% among the students who took IPUCET, a screening test taken by no less than 1, 00,000 students in India helped me get into the bachelors program in “Computer Science and Information Technology” from Guru Gobind Singh Indraprasth University. A well-structured and comprehensive curriculum here, along with an experienced faculty, has given me a broad prospective and better understanding to the fundamentals of core Computer Science subjects viz., Computer Organization, Operating Systems, Database Management Systems, Computer Networks, Neural Networks, Object Oriented Programming, Design and analysis of Algorithms, Computer Graphics, Software Engineering

Ever since my school days, I’ve been interested in Mathematics and Sciences, which drive the physical world. I have received grades with magna cum laude both in my 10th and 12th grade. I completed my Bachelors in Mechanical Engineering in June 2014; this was a 4 year program from Parul Institute of Technology which is affiliated to Gujrat Technical University. I secured 6.77 CGPA on scale of 10 during my bachelor degree and 7.38 in my final year. My profound interest in Machine Design and Thermal Engineering subjects fetched me praiseworthy recognition amongst my peers. All this has now prompted me to accomplish my academic goals by pursuing graduate studies.

The guidance of my teachers resulted in me comprehending the importance of mathematics in the computing experience which eventually led to me opting for Mathematics along with the applied sciences of Physics and Chemistry as my major. Consequently the next hurdle for me was to clear "EAMCET"(Engineering Agriculture and Medicine Common entrance test), a state wide entrance test for engineering aspirants. My sincere efforts and aptitude placed me among the top 4% of the selected students out of over 100,000 students who appeared for the test. This enabled me to opt for a Bachelor’s degree in Electronics & Communication Engineering in VNR Vignana Jyothi Institute of Engineering and Technology, Jawaharlal Nehru Technological University, Hyderabad a premier educational institution in

There are huge illustrations that testify the presence of mathematics in everything that we are doing and in nature all around us. It was that broad exposure that led me to write about the importance of mathematics in our life. First, coming from a different country, and starting off with a different cultural background while searching for college admission in the United States to pursuing my personal academic interests. The road to success was not an easy path for me, but I succeeded in obtaining my bachelor’s degree in mathematics at Jersey City University. After obtaining my B.A., I wanted to pursue my educational achievement to higher degree in Mathematics, but with work and a growing family I had to postpone my dream for a few years. About a year and a half ago while having a fruitful conversation with my brother on returning back school for higher learning in mathematics, and he advised me to look into Piedmont College where its program is designed to prepare students with similar interests as me. I immediately started to look into the program to sort out courses that I need to take until the completion of the entire program. After the submission of my application for admission to Piedmont College, I have received an acceptance letter from this School to welcome me as an official graduated student to Piedmont College. This decision was one of the best choices I have ever made. Last summer and early this year, I had the opportunity to take two courses that will

After graduating high school, several students decide to go off to college while many others find want to take a break from school, then continue later on. Sometimes, there are people that have entity approach intelligence where they believe that college is not for them and therefore find something else to do, so they look for jobs and decide to work. They believe that if they try to get into this new environment, they will not even achieve anything; therefore, they do not even want to try. Some of them cannot go because of financial reasons. Once they start going, they drop out because their savings are depleted. Because financial reasons is considered as one of the factors that triggers a lot of people to drop out of school, I believe that there should be a reduction in the cost of college.

My interest towards mathematics made me to take Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry as the main subjects during my intermediate (10+2). After obtaining 94% marks in Intermediate and securing a top 6% rank in engineering entrance test, I opted for Computer Science Engineering in JNTU College of Engineering. Immediately after my Bachelor’s degree, I secured the job in Wipro Technologies and this offered me numerous opportunities to learn about the technical aspects of Software industry.
