STATEMENT OF PURPOSE
“The more I read, the more I acquire, the more certain I am that I know nothing”.
These words by Voltaire, describe my first rendezvous with Computer Science when I entered the computer lab in my 3rd grade at school. Simple commands making a turtle move on the screen in the LOGO programming environment amazed me. I thought about the different permutations that could create something new each time. Little did I know that this subject would transform into an in-depth interest and change the lives of people all over the world as daily life problems could be converted into a few lines of code through an underlying logic. Understanding this logic requires me to understand various technologies, their potentials and their drawbacks as ten to fifteen years down the line of my career I see myself as an entrepreneur. I believe that a Masters in Computer Science would hone my skills and help me to effectuate my dream.
Maths, Physics and Computer Science were my favourite subjects in high school and this coupled interest kept me a step ahead of everyone else. The immense satisfaction that automating a problem yields, led me to opt for Computer Science as my major. I worked with innate tenacity and secured an All India Rank among top 1% that got me admitted to HBTI Kanpur, one of the oldest and prestigious colleges in India. The curriculum exposed me to several courses and I developed a fervent interest in Data Structures, Object Oriented Programming and
I decided to pursue engineering, hence opted for the science stream in high school. I spent innumerable hours during high school to pursue my interest in mathematics and prepare me for undergraduate study in this field. My effort and dedication paid off when I secured a seat in Delhi Technological University (DTU), one of India′s premier engineering institutes. The fascination with mathematics led me to choose Mathematics and Com- puting as my undergraduate field of
Prior to this, growing up in Kathmandu, Nepal, my childhood consisted of me daydreaming of becoming the one and only computer scientist. I was just another young, eager child to meet life’s challenges. Taking these daring challenges led my journey to University of Massachusetts Lowell to pursue a degree towards computer science leading me closer
During the summer of my tenth grade year, I interned at Accenture, a consulting firm, where I repaired computers and resolved any software issues. At first I started opening and and exploring parts of retired dell laptops. As I became more proficient, I was able to help clients fix PC issues such as broken screens, replacing RAM, and transferring data from the hard drives to another computer. This internship inspired me to consider the Technology industry as a possible career. Taking into consideration the broad range of possible career paths in technology, I decided to major in Computer Science once I get to college.
“The more that you read, the more things you will know. The more you learn, the more places you will go.” This is one of my favorite quotes, and not because it rhymes. The speaker, Dr. Seuss, relays a belief simple enough for a 6 year-old to understand. A belief that I strongly agree with which is to educate yourself. Answers to many questions lie between the bindings of a book. I recently came in contact with this belief this summer.
Furthermore, with the skills acquired from the college, I can aid not only myself, but others around me to move forward in technological advances and work for an ever growing future. Not only that, but I am yearning to observe how deep my passion for technology will bring me into learning in the Computer Science Major. No matter how challenging the course may be or how difficult it is to comprehend at first, nothing is impossible and will not stop me from my way of benefiting others around
Have you ever felt the exhilarating feeling of being watched? Like how every move you made felt as if it were being noted and permanently glued to your spectator's mind, the feeling where everyone just wanted to see you fail or make a fool of yourself. In November 2015 my brother and I participated in a fashion show, it took place on on the twelfth and thirteenth at 7:30 each night, Bridgerland Applied Technology College was our host. To be ready for the show we learned the walk, the smile, and anything we needed to know to succeed.
The career opportunity that was most interesting for me to pursue is a Coding and Reimbursement Specialist. There are more job opportunities as a Coding Specialist as long as you know the information well. It is in great demand and there is sometimes an option to work from home. When I researched about it, I became more interested in it. I felt like I could take on the challenge and go for this degree.
“I am the wisest man alive, for I know one thing, and that is that I know nothing.” (Plato,19c).
Last week I finished my hour of code but It was probably more than an hour of code because i spent like 6 classes on it so yeah more than an hour. What I learned about code that sometimes it can be very easy but in case it started off easy but when I started getting farther into code it made it harder for me but I got through it. I was successful into the point where i wanted to stop i even went farther than that because I finished all of the minecraft exercise then I moved onto these flappy bird exercise witch where to easy for me Then i moved onto this thing where you coded this little person to move around and draw shapes on paper that got really hard i did not even finish that because i ran out of time to work with it more. I did not enjoy
Throughout the third quarter during the 2016-2017 school year, I have learned much in my tech 2 class. I have completed three projects where I learned new things and helped tech 1s. I learned how to design and print 3d models, fly airplanes, be patient when helping people, and not waste time. I plan to use the skills I have learned either in college or highschool. I also plan to use these skills in a field related to engineering or architecture.
I believe that the field of computer science, engineering, and math have had an amazing positive impact on world and the opportunities to continue this progress are unlimited. My abilities and interest are in this area and I would love to be a part of this great endeavor. When it comes to the subjects of computer science and mathematics I generally excel in the classroom and I find it entertaining to explore them for personal learning. My interest has drawn me to participate in a number of extracurricular activities in computer science and mathematics. I find that these experiences have been invaluable for me in deciding to pursue a dual major in mathematics and computer science. One of these experiences that has given me a better appreciation
Computer Science, Software Engineering and Information Systems are international qualifications, enabling people to work globally, and in a very broad variety of roles. There is steady growth in demand for technically adept and flexible IT graduates. Declining student enrollment, while growth continues in law, medicine, biology, economics, and business; the decline among women is particularly alarming (Klawe and Shneiderman 27). Computer science is now a part of everyone’s daily life through the innovations and technologies it enables. From transforming health care to enabling a more robust national defense, computer science is on the forefront of discovery, driving economic growth and transforming our
Selection of the appropriate field of study has always been a crucial decision. Driven by curiosity and interest in computing, I chose science stream on my secondary education. After completing my higher secondary education, I joined Pashchimanchal Campus (WRC)-a constituent campus of IOE, Tribhuvan University- in "Bachelor in Civil Engineering". My undergraduate studies provide me basic course such as pollution control, solid waste management which were interesting, while, water
My major has gradually revealed the fundamental disciplines and inherent architectures as well as systems of the computer and how to learn programming in the past several
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.
