Life Is Not Easy For Any Of Us

For my presentation I will be proposing the benefits of choosing a career as a

Man, has forever tried to push the limits of his capabilities through technology and innovation. It is this struggle that has brought us to this era where a technological revolution continuously tries to reduce the struggles and complexity is his life or the life of other men. In many ways, I too have benefitted from the labors of other man. But now wish to play my part in the above transformation. Even though my work may be inconsequential in nature if it can help at least one other person other than myself I would be immensely delighted. To achieve the above objective I, choose Computer Science as my major as an undergraduate student at Florida Institute of Technology. Throughout my career as an undergraduate student I too have continuously challenged what I could do in my field and now. And now as I have ended my undergraduate studies, it is my central goal to continue my education in a more challenging and competitive environment. It is to serve the above purpose that I wish to apply to the Computer Science department at prestigious university to pursue a Master’s degree in Computer Science.

At present we are in a technological and computing revolution that will severely change our lives and eventually readdress what it means to be a human. I am very galvanized at the prospect of devoting my career to such a dynamic, fast advancing field. From the time I was young, I loved dabbling with computers and experimenting with various applications. My lifetime has essentially coincided with the rise of modern computing industry, I can feel that there are still tremendous developments to come in this field. So I choose Computer Science as my university major, and now, as I am in the end of my undergraduate course, my central goal is to continue my education in a more competitive and international environment.

The path of a computer scientist is never easy and requires hard work, strong mental focus, and the ability to

Growing up in the information age, everybody in my generation is influenced by computers. Not merely regarding computers as a toy or tool in my childhood, I was curious about the computer itself - how it works and what it can do for me. The first time I used programming was in primary school. Not printing “Hello, world” like others, I was able to draw pictures and even create games using Logo programming language. The charm of programming is very attractive to me. While in high school I participated in the National Olympiad in Informatics in Provinces (NOIP) and trained every day solving over 300 questions in total. Through unrelenting efforts, I was awarded first prize three times. Because of this experience I laid a solid foundation for my algorithm skills and it has taught me to always solve problems in a comprehensive way. Eventually, I was recommended for admission to the University of Science and Technology of China (USTC) because of my specialty in programming and superior academic skills.

Even though I had some basic knowledge of computers from school, I never realized their true potential until I started Computer science and Engineering undergraduate program in National Institute of Technology(VNIT), Nagpur, one of the premier institutes for engineering studies in India. Its here that I coded my first “Hello World!” programs in C, JAVA and C++. Other students already had hands on experience and command on the subject;competition was tough. I struggled initially but I knew better than to give up thanks to the training at home. I studied hard and maintained good grades.

Daniel J. Boorstin’s quote “Education is learning what you didn't even know you didn't know” very aptly sums up my intention and curiosity to learn and attain the required skill sets in my field of interest and particularly be familiar and thorough with the facts and basics that I didn’t know. As it is always said and also believed, “Known is a drop, unknown is an Ocean”, I would just love to take a small step to know the unknown in the field of Computer Science. As a prelude to my professional goals and ambitions, I draft this Statement of Purpose, elucidating the eligibility of my candidature to pursue my Master’s Program in the area of Computer Science at the prestigious University of

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.

After working as a senior software developer for past 7 years at Infosys, one of the largest Indian IT company, my quest to gain an advance knowledge has made me think to return to the graduate school. A desire to learn has no limits and I buckled up to put the pursuit of dreams into perspective. I was always fascinated since my 8th grade, how a DOS command can write my name, how a 1.44MB floppy size can store the documents, how a CD can play a music through computer and how I can use copious colors on my computer screen without getting my hands colored and many more. I knew I cannot get away from it and then as I kept progressing through my grades, usage of computer and technology never ceased to amaze me. World started being

I have completed my Bachelor’s Degree in Electronics and Communications Engineering for undergraduate study as my area of interest from University of Rajasthan, one of the most prestigious universities in India. I was among the top students in my class. The core courses of Analog/Digital Electronics and circuits, Control systems, Microcontrollers, Computer Architecture, Network Analysis, Microprocessors, Signals and Systems, Digital Signal Processing have given me a good understanding of the

My life has not been the easiest, but it did provide me with incredible opportunities. Growing up I did not know any English because Spanish was my first language. I was also my mother’s first born and that made her nervous when making decisions, such as what school I would go to. However, she had my grandmother around and together they were able to make a decision. When I started kindergarten, I was the only one in my class that did not know English. Of course, kids teased and giggled, but I was afraid to tell my mother because I thought I would be blamed. Thankfully, the teasing got the attention of my teacher and she was able to put a stop to it. I had an incredible kindergarten teacher and she took the time to teach me outside of class. Looking back at the opportunities I have been given, the two most important people that gave me access to so much information and support, are my kindergarten teacher and my mother.

My curriculum enhanced my knowledge in subjects like Programming in C and Data structures, Managerial Economics and Financial Analysis, Control Systems, Management Science, Soft Computing Techniques that helped me gain fair amount of theoretical knowledge in the areas of my interest. It was during this period my trainer and lecturer Mrs. Swarna Kumari instilled in me a strong penchant for information management and computer programming.

My real achievements started when I took information Technology as my branch for my undergraduate course in Prof. Ram Meghe Institute Of Technology and Research, one of the most elite and oldest institutions of engineering in India. The course was developed in such a way and was open for changes that it remains compatible to the latest industry standards. I have remained extremely motivated and zealous throughout my Bachelors Programs. I was always among the class 3 toppers in the subjects such as e-commerce, Data Structure, Digital communication, and communication engineering. I am adept at programming in C, C++ and JAVA which were taught in our undergraduate studies.

I earned my undergraduate degree in Electronics and Communication [Elective – Embedded System Design] from Visvesvaraya Technological University with the grade `First Class with Distinction '. Also, I was a topper of the undergraduate program at my college. Prior to my undergraduate degree, I have been the topper in Physics and Mathematics at my Pre-University college.

Albert Einstein’s words of wisdom, “Problems cannot be solved at the same level of awareness that created them.” interested me right from my school days and with single-minded devotion I focused my attention throughout my career in school and college to increase my level of awareness to understand life and the associated problems. After intense introspection of my abilities, academic background, areas of interest and future career goals, I have arrived at the decision of pursuing masters in Computer Engineering.
