Personal Statement Of Purpose For Computer Science

I have been fascinated by computers since I was seven. That’s when I first attended a Take Your Child to Work Day with my dad, a software engineer. I begged him to teach me how to program. He began by teaching me BASIC on an original IBM PC, and I eventually taught myself C++, Java, Python, and more.

I have chosen to pursue a career in computer science, because it has been a heavy influence on me throughout my life. All my life I have been surrounded by technology, almost more than half of my family has a career in the IT field, which is what sparked my interest. My earliest memory of when I first became interested was when I was about 6 and my mother bought me a phonics dog, and I was more interested in how it worked rather than what it did. I then saw the screw bolts and knew if I used a screwdriver I could see the inside of the toy so I opened it, and from then on I knew I was interested in technology. In middle school was when I first took my actual dive into the IT world and I learned there are different computer languages, and about different devices used in the tech world. Also I

Because of the different applications that the computers can perform, I was very interested in computers, especially the idea of coding. I had zero knowledge of coding, but there is nothing that stopped me from learning how programs were created. It is intriguing because I saw many people on the news everyday able to create a new program that can advance the technology that humans currently have. I want to be someone who is able to create those programs to help the people improve their lives.

Which is probably why I always found myself in some sort of trouble for taking apart toys and having to throw them away because they would never work the same or again after I got my hands on them. In my adolescence and teen years, that curiosity grew to include computers, technology, and engineering. Then came the first few awkward years of college that everyone has, where you can’t decide what to do and you skip around to different majors and degree programs for a while before you have that moment of epiphany that you can apply what you loved doing as a kid to a real life (sort of---cowboy astronaut with supernatural powers). It wasn’t until the start of my undergraduate program that I began developing a solid foundation and understanding of information technology, information systems along with some basic understanding of electronic and computer

Today, my self-worth is inexorably linked with my passion for technology. My fascination began at a young age. I found myself trying to figure out the inner workings of my gaming consoles and computers. When I received my first computer, I spent months watching videos explaining the various parts of a computer and their functionalities. As I became more comfortable with my computer, I began to uncover the infinite possibilities of learning, creating, and enhancement. It was then that I realized that a computer is an endlessly expandable and updatable tool.

Throughout my life I've come to be heavily involved in just about all things technology and it's developed into something I've become passionate about. I began working on computers as early as 7th grade and I moved on to doing freelance work for friends and family, as well as taking Computer servicing classes my sophomore & junior years of high school. Beyond high school I had a falling out with technology, and I believe this was necessary in order for me to realize that it's a field that I love and excel

After securing a meritorious position in senior secondary exam, my parents advised me to option for a F.SC (Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics). This helped me to understand engineering studies with much better prospective. It also served

Computer science is the key to the lock of a caged door that holds in my imagination and creativity. After breezing through elementary and middle school, I advanced to a point in life where I realized that I sought after being challenged with tasks such as while I am programming. After moving across continents from Turkey to the US, I was quickly labeled as advanced due to the fact that I was able to learn how to speak English in under 6 months and my ability in mathematics. Granted that I enjoyed the praise and respect from other students in my class, I always felt turned off from school. After receiving placement in the honor roll numerous times, I started to develop a belief that high school would also be laid-back. The first two years of high school had their ups and downs

But my relationship with computers started when I first came across the computers in my school days. I was so very amused with computers that I fell in love with computers. I was very fascinated with the way the computers performed every task so effortlessly. The first calculation, the first game I played, the first mouse cursor movement I experienced were all just amazing. I still remember every bit of those cherished memories.

I had an interest in the field of computer science from a very young age. It started in grade three when my school started teaching me and my friends about operating computers, while only grade six students were previously trained to do so. Although I was only taught about using paint software at that time, I learnt about the multidimensional usage of computer with time. Outside the school, I was an avid follower of automobiles, and to be specific I got really interested when I learnt about the supremacy of computing in automobiles, which helped to shape myself to major in computer science. In 2008, when Google launched the idea of self-driving car, I was amazed by the idea behind the technology empowering the mechanicals of an automobile.

Starting by reading old computer programming books even before we had a computer in our house, I was driven to explore a new world of computers by learning the machines. I used my computer skills to help other people in part to share my enthusiasm on the positive force technology can bring to our society. Over the years, I helped neighbors clear out spyware, connect the computer to the printer, publish a website, and even delete precious photos on a memory stick

Playing games on my father's computer as a child fascinated me in the way the computer works, how fast it develops, and now how the computer helps the world to communicate. It still amazes me in how fast computers change and how communication across the globe is enhanced with the computer. Computers have drastically changed how society lives and does business. Even small businesses can do global sales without leaving their location. With new strategies for business, comes cyber threats of identity theft and theft of intellectual property that brings information technology security and new laws into play. It is becoming a fast and ever challenging world. Computer science enables the ability to program software for protection against these kinds of threats and vulnerabilities. It also enables the ability to program artificial intelligence into the computer system software to enable society to meet their needs in more appropriate ways.

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

It is universally agreeable that with the advent of Computer technology, every ambitious and enthusiastic individual is really obsessed with the idea of doing computer science at graduate level because it seems to have created a zeal and enthusiasm in the hearts of youth, particularly those who aspire to be marked as high achievers. I, for one, seem to have been enchanted by these computer applications as they have made the world smaller, speaking in terms of globalization. I have no hesitation to add that core computerization alone is the suitable answer to all the areas unexploited and to the areas waiting for development. It has always been a fascination for me about how computers work, how these applications are designed and what can be the newer ways to explore the world of computers to make our world better. This interest became a passion for me when I was exposed to computer science basics, during my middle school. Pursuing computer science engineering at undergraduate level, further propelled my passion for computer science along with providing me a deeper insight and in-depth understanding of the subject. After completing my under graduation in Computer Science, I am willing to expedite my research interest and a masters degree seemed the most appropriate choice for realizing my aspirations.

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.
